Darren "Dazbo" Lester

I've worn many hats over my IT career, including developer, tech lead, people manager, infrastructure architect, enterprise architect and cloud architect. Regardless of the role, I discovered that the best way to master a complex topic is to write it down. And then I had this thought: "What if I still wrote everything down, but I invite everyone else to learn from it?" Today, I'm an active blogger, speaker and Google Developer Expert (GDE), focussing on AI, Google Cloud, architecture and strategy. I don't just want to talk about the "what" of these technologies; I want to help you understand the "why" and the "how".

Chris Sellek

Chris Sellek

Chris writes things.

Most of the time, he's writing code as a senior software engineer at his 9-5 working for SAS. Occasionally, usually late at night after wife and three kids are asleep, it means writing fiction (often in the horror and fantasy space) as he prepares to launch his self-publishing author career.

Chris is passionate about helping people understand new or complex topics in ways that are engaging and entertaining, building software responsibly, and reminding engineers that curiosity and empathy are just as important as technical skill.

An extroverted engineer who genuinely enjoys speaking to a room full of people for 20+ minutes, Chris' presenting style has been described as "modern, with a TikTok flair" -- one of the greatest compliments he's ever received.

When he's not "writing things," you'll find him paying video games, reading fiction, or spending time with his favorite people (the aforementioned wife and three kids). he's also incredibly talented, funny, and a general pleasure to be around. And as an aside, he _insists_ that he did not write this bio.
