Jeremy Shaki, Co-Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Labs
As Co-Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Labs, Jeremy Shaki has spent a majority of his time helping tech communities think of improved ways in which to build their technology talent both for the immediate and long term futures. With a background in Experiential Marketing and Operations, Jeremy has endeavoured to build an education organization that relies on and feeds local developer and technology communities with the expectation that the only way that tech education can truly maintain it's relevance is to be completely interconnected with those of whom are spending their days pushing boundaries and innovating.

Cyber technologies such as AI, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, IoT, Big Data, Cloud are accelerating the growth of our economy and improving the quality of our life. Meanwhile, they are bringing the huge impact on our cyber risk, security, privacy, governance, and compliance. Just like Charlies Dickens wrote in his book “A Tale of Two Cities”: ”It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity… we had everything before us, we had nothing before us..." Our meetup is a hub for people who care about technology, risk, and security to get fresh ideas, learn latest skills, identify new opportunities, advance career development, and expand business &amp; professional networks. We will invite industry leaders and experts to speak on topics such as Game-Changing Technologies, Innovation Programs, Cyber Risk, Cyber Security, Cyber Strategy, Data Privacy, Cyber Compliancy, Cyber Insurance, Cyber Talents, Career Development, etc.

The future of the software world lies in the co-operation of development, quality assurance and operations. Delivering top-notch products quickly requires integration and collaboration -- no more silos. This group is for people who share that vision. I wanted to create a meetup for like-minded folks to share ideas, complain, layout plans and vision for the future, and generally enjoy great company.
