Tonight we’ll be hearing from:

• Cristian Bourceanu on "Aetherus: Monte-Carlo radiative transfer with photon history tracking of interactions for materials and surfaces". From Cristian:

"Monte-Carlo simulations are ubiquous in producing simulated results for problems that are challenging to solve numerically or analytically, but they can be described in terms of statistics. Aetherus is the first known multispectral time-resolved Monte-Carlo simulation, making extensive use of the Rust ecosystem: serde, rayon, nalegbra with SIMD speed-up. The big challenge is to analyse the results, for which we have added a novel events tracking method, using an encoding inspired from RISC-V 32-bit instruction encoding. This enables to group signals together based on various criteria and understand the effects underlying the detected photons histogram. A Domain Specific Language (DSL) was developed with chumsky to faciliate filtering based on an intuitive script."
"I am a PhD student at University of Edinburgh, investigating Multispectral LIDAR. Previously worked as a RISC-V CPU design engineer at Codasip and a firmware engineer at Hypervolt. Now trying to bring some of this knowledge together."

• Fallible Things on "Bevy in Anger (and other stages of grief)".

Fallible has been working on a digital card game for 2 years, having migrated her client-side code base to Bevy after prototyping with Godot for 6 months. Bevy is the Game Engine darling of the Rust community, and has been subject to both much love and hate over its half-decade of development. What's it like trusting and using this technology over time? What will it look like in the future? Has sticking with it been worth it?

Fallible is an Artist and Technical Writer involved in the local independent game development scene, and an infrequent Bevy docs contributor

This time we'll be trying out hosting provided by the Edinburgh Community Rooms project at Patersons Land (no slant against our previous company hosts, who are still much appreciated, it's just good to mix things up occasionally 😀).

Plan for the evening:

• 18:30: doors open
• 19:00 → 20:00: talks + q/a
• 20:00: move for drinks 🍻 to Holyrood 9A, where we have a table booked (this is nearby Patersons Land)

Discord server for this and other local gamedev events: https://discord.gg/HnPSCDJ

A casual social gathering for local game developers to meet and chat! All ages, stages and disciplines are welcome -- whether you're a student generalist or a triple-A veteran, a community manager or a musician, artist or hobbyist, anyone who works in/on/around games and wants to talk to like-minded people is welcome!

You don't need to bring anything, but if you are working on something and have videos or even a demo to play you will find an eager audience. And although it's set in a pub, don't feel obliged to drink either; you'll find many of us having dinner and soft drinks.

A bar/pub after-work meetup for anyone interested in tech. Share your latest project, learn about what others are working on, or talk about tech in general. Whatever the case, come join us for a drink or something to eat.

Ask about the reservation for Stephen to find us 👍

Everyone is invited. Are you in? #womenintech #outgeekedinburgh

You and your company are invited to an event where you can meet, interview and network with accomplished female professionals in various IT fields, including software engineering, data science, technical product and project management, UI/UX design, and more.

There will be short keynotes, speed interviews or open networking, and lots of energy! Hiring teams will discuss their companies, present job openings, and network with seasoned job seekers, providing you with the ideal opportunity to discover your next exceptional hire. Attendees will have the opportunity to rate presentations delivered by the hiring teams, and we promise there won't be any Simon Cowell-style judges to break anyone's spirit. Plus, we'll send you a list of job seekers in advance, so you can plan your strategy accordingly.

• Who's in: established software engineers, data scientists, PMs, and UI/UX designers
• 90+ candidates on the event list, a 55-65% attendance rate on average
• 3+ years of experience in a relevant field on average
• While this event is centered around women in tech, we extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us.

Who could gain from participating in this event?

Your dev, product, data, UI/UX teams, talent acquisition leaders, and CTO will thank you for extending the invite!

No need to sweat over preparing for this event!

We understand that you may have attended events in the past that demanded extensive preparation but fell short on value. But, our event is unique - it only takes an hour to review the talent list, connect with candidates, and prepare a 5-minute impromptu keynote speech without any slides. Bring swag!

Are you looking for a job?

Our events are free for badass tech professionals seeking new job opportunities. Find our schedule and RSVP here.

All the badass women in tech, are you in? #outgeekwomen #womenintech

We are happy to extend an invitation to our event, offering a chance to network with accomplished female pros across diverse IT domains, rub shoulders with CTOs, connect with talented dev teams, and mingle with the brilliant minds behind your favorite tech brands. This event is a match made in heaven for software engineers, data scientists, PMs and project managers, and UI/UX designers who want to stay ahead of the game in the fast-paced world of tech. While this event is centered around women in tech, we extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us.

On the company side, we have CTOs who can write code blindfolded, VP of Engineering who have a black belt in project management, and talent acquisition leaders who have recruited more people than McDonald's has served hamburgers. And on the attendee side, we have techies who know how to turn caffeine into code and can make an app out of thin air. This event is not just about networking, it's about connecting with fellow mid-/senior tech pros in the industry, sharing a laugh or two, and maybe even finding your next career move. So come join us for a unique networking event where job seekers take the driver's seat!

We will: listen to short and sweet pitches by CTOs and hiring teams and vote best pitch (who said that corporate evaluation can't be fun?), talk all things tech, network and run speed interviews, meet faces behind our fav tech brands, and see what our local tech has to offer this season.

Tickets, Fees, Collaboration

Curious techies and job seekers never pay fees to attend our events unless they secure one of the last 10 tickets available. We offer 150 free tickets, and only the final 10 are paid.
