  • UpNext: Picking trends in tech / deciding what to invest in learning

    Dan Kelley ’99 (Political Science, German), Engineering Manager, Meta, will share his perspective that software engineering remains a less mature discipline than many other kinds of engineering and is constantly evolving. As software powers many aspects of the world, software engineering is not just evolving, it’s expanding.
