Talk 1 (20 minutes):

Node.js: The cause of and solution to all of life's problems - Craig Freeman

While speaking at a Node.js conference in October of last year, an unexpected cold snap froze pipes in my yard and resulted in water flooding into my finished basement. In an effort to prevent a repeat episode, I used a Raspberry Pi, Node, and Twilio to create an IoT device that would notify me if the temperature drops below a set threshold. This talk walks through the steps I took to piece it together.

Craig Freeman is a Senior Software Engineer at Twilio, specializing in scalable and well-tested UI development for anything from small marketing sites to enterprise web applications. He's been developing for the web in various capacities since 1998 and has an interest in development best practices and organization, continuing education and mentoring, remote culture, Agile workflows, and application architecture. He's a former paramedic and firefighter, current bassist and off-road enthusiast, and aspiring handyman.
