In his previous life, he was a professional structural engineer, designing cool physical things, now he designs cool virtual things instead!

Abstract
For years, building containerized applications on a desktop machine could be summed up as: “simple/open/extensible: pick two.” Finch, an open source project established in 2022, aims to make containerized development all three.
In this session, first attendees will be introduced to the project and how it can be used to both simplify and speed up their development workflows. Then it will dive into the other open source project that Finch integrates to create a modern, easy-to-use containerized application development system, along the way, we'll touch on Finch's upstream-first development model. Finally, we'll talk a little bit about where Finch is going in the future.
