Speaker:  Andrew Sutton from Beyond Identity

Date:     Wednesday, January 28

Time:     5:30 ? 6:30 PM

Place:    Room 120


Title: "From College Professor to Small Business Owner to Startup
Developer: The Adventures in Software Engineering"



Summary: In this talk, I?ll discuss my somewhat unusual career path
from a very typical beginning through being a professor, a small
business owner, and most recently a software engineer at a
startup. Over the course of my career, I?ve come to appreciate the
differences between programming, software engineering, and software
architecture, terms that are often confused and conflated. I?ll talk
about the principles that make good programmers, what it takes to
transition into a software engineer, and why software architecture is
a fundamentally different skill set.


Then we?ll talk about the elephant in the room: AI.





Bio: Andrew Sutton is a Principal Software Engineer at Beyond
Identity, an online identity and security company, where he helps
steer development of their policy engine and other parts of their
critical runtime infrastructure. Before working at Beyond Identity,
Andrew was co-owner of Lock3 Software, a small compiler company that
helped implement experimental language features for C++ and helped
prototype new, experimental languages. Andrew was an Assistant
Professor at the University of Akron before leaving to work at Lock3
Software full-time. While there, he taught object-oriented programming
(badly), programming languages, and compilers.


Andrew Sutton graduated with a PhD from Kent State University in 2010
under Dr. Jonathan Maletic and worked as a postdoctoral research
associate at Texas A&M University under Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator
of C++.
