OWASP: Advanced Crypto
Roll back
| description |
<b>Abstract</b>
A well known security expert and cryptographer, Thomas H. Ptáček, once said: "<i>If You're Typing the Letters A-E-S Into Your Code You're Doing It Wrong</i>". Wait, what?!? Doesn't everyone use AES? Of course we do. Is AES broken? Nope.
In this developer-oriented talk I'll explore what mistakes developers commonly make when implementing cryptosystems, just how easily these problems can be exploited in the real world, and what Thomas meant by his statement.
<b>Speaker's Bio</b>
Tim taught himself how to write software at the age of twelve and has been a die-hard technologist ever since. After earning his computer science degrees (B.S., Harvey Mudd College and M.S., Northeastern University), Tim spent 8 years helping build a Boston-based information security consulting practice that was recently acquired. In 2014, Tim founded Blindspot Security where he has continued his work as a security consultant, helping his customers understand how digital intruders can gain access to their critical business assets through network, application, and comprehensive security assessments. |

PDX Women in Tech How to Study for a Technical Interview (1/24/18)
Roll back
| description |
***Registration through Eventbrite [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-how-to-study-for-a-technical-interview-12418-tickets-39530989253] is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event ***
Interviewing for a new job can be a stressful proposition. It is hard to know what to expect and even how to prepare for it. Each company evaluates its candidates differently. Luckily, some upfront investment and preparation can really go a long way in helping you distinguish yourself from the rest of the candidates. In this seminar lead by Khawaja Shams, VP of Engineering at Elemental Technologies, we will cover some common interviewing practices for technical interviews and what you may be able to do to get ready. We plan to cover many beneficial topics:
• Morning preparation, attire, mindset
• Preparation for the non-technical parts
• How to study for the coding interview
• How to execute the coding test
Due to the level of interaction required, attendance will be capped at 20. Never fear, we will be organizing this same event bi-monthly because we want everyone to have access to this workshop!
Agenda:
5:00 PM: Doors open
5:15 PM: Introduction
5:30 PM: Workshop begins
6:30 PM: Workshop ends
Event FAQ:
Q: What is the parking situation?
A: No on-site parking available at this event. .
Q: Is there secured bike parking?
A: No secured bike parking available at this event.
Q: Should I consider using public transportation?
A: Yes, taking public transportation to this event is recommended. The event is conveniently located near MAX and bus lines.
Purpose:
PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.
Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.

Abstract:
A well known security expert and cryptographer, Thomas H. Ptáček, once said: "<i>If You're Typing the Letters A-E-S Into Your Code You're Doing It Wrong</i>". Wait, what?!? Doesn't everyone use AES? Of course we do. Is AES broken? Nope.
In this developer-oriented talk I'll explore what mistakes developers commonly make when implementing cryptosystems, just how easily these problems can be exploited in the real world, and what Thomas meant by his statement.

So many of us are building really cool shit at work and in the community - let's share, recognize and applaud our badassery. Through this WTT series, we aim to perpetuate the technical learning and teaching component within our industry.
Partnering with local WIT communities we'll meet monthly for a lightning talk + keynote, followed by Q&A. Oh, and food/drink. Curated for a technical audience compromised of but not limited to women, transgender and non binary friends. We'll start promptly at 5:15 and end by 6:30, we welcome kiddos too.

Callie survived the life of a front-end web developer during the (original) Dot-Com Bubble, working at companies like Yahoo!, Sabre, and Fiserv. After, she shifted her focus deliberately to usability and accessibility, earning a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction, and worked in house as a User Experience Researcher at Amazon and Intel, and in accessibility at Apple.

Finding funding sources for your startup can be difficult.
Come spend an evening with us and a panel of local experts who can help you explore how to fund your venture. We will talk about the pros and cons of raising that first funding to get rolling.
• Friends and family
• Angels / angel groups and funds
• Crowd Funding
• Private Equity
Our expert panel will discuss when each can be appropriate and when. What angel investors are looking for? and What are the pros and cons of each investment type at each company stage?

Lets get together to discuss all aspects of deep learning.
In particular, this week I'm interested in learning more about ensemble methods for deep learning. If you get a chance and are so inclined check out The Relative Performance of Ensemble Methods with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification
Also, bring any questions you may have on the Fast.AI or Andrew Ng's coursera course.
All levels of experience are welcome. We rarely have presentations, though we may someone leads a discussion. Bring your questions, projects and ideas, basic or advanced, and we'll try to help.
Don't forget the #deep-learning channel in the PDX Startups slack which you can join at https://pdx-startups-slack.herokuapp.com

PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) Happy Hour Networking Event
Roll back
| description |
***Registration through Eventbrite is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event***
We are celebrating Giving Tuesday by joining forces with Free Geek for our Happy Hour on November 28th.
PDXWIT exists as a way to encourage, support and empower women in the Portland tech community. One way to feel empowered is to lift each other at work, and because we feel this is so important, we’ve made it the theme of this event. The conversation starter is “What's something new you can do to empower your coworkers and colleagues?”
In the spirit of giving, we will be offering a number of ways to give back to your community:
• Donate your used electronics to support Free Geek
• P:ear is organizing a “Women Supporting the Women” bra and underwear drive! For young, homeless women, it is hard to find support for their diverse and changing bodies. Let’s give them the support they need! Bring in gift certificates to Ross or other easy-to-access clothing stores for custom purchases, or raid your wardrobe for new or very lightly used bras. All sizes are needed. Practical styles encouraged, including sports and maternity. New underwear also encouraged.
• Sign up to be an individual or sustaining supporter for PDXWIT and get a green shirt!
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
᛫ Introduction to Free Geek, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
᛫ Pippa Arend, Development Director at p:ear, will talk about Ladies Supporting the Ladies.
᛫ Commissioner Smith will talk about how Multnomah County is giving women and people of color access to startup funds.
During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:
᛫ An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.
᛫ Table Topics to help break the ice.
᛫ A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.

The conversation starter is “What's something new you can do to empower your coworkers and colleagues?”
In the spirit of giving, we will be offering a number of ways to give back to your community:
• Donate your used electronics to support Free Geek
• P:ear is organizing a “Women Supporting the Women” bra and underwear drive! For young, homeless women, it is hard to find support for their diverse and changing bodies. Let’s give them the support they need! Bring in gift certificates to Ross or other easy-to-access clothing stores for custom purchases, or raid your wardrobe for new or very lightly used bras. All sizes are needed. Practical styles encouraged, including sports and maternity. New underwear also encouraged.
• Sign up to be an individual or sustaining supporter for PDXWIT and get a green shirt!
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
᛫ Introduction to Free Geek, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
᛫ Pippa Arend, Development Director at p:ear, will talk about Ladies Supporting the Ladies.
᛫ Commissioner Smith will talk about how Multnomah County is giving women and people of color access to startup funds.
During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:
᛫ An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.
᛫ Table Topics to help break the ice.
᛫ A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.

Description:
QuoteCenter, located in Vancouver, Washington, was a $0 sales channel upon its acquisition by The Home Depot in 2013. By 2016, QuoteCenter drove more than $650 million in pro contractor sales to the world's fourth largest retailer, The Home Depot. However, with the growth in online marketplaces and the professional contractor market, QuoteCenter is fast becoming the confluence of products and services that pro contractors need to purchase the materials they need to serve their customers. Although their history lies in the in-store buying experience, QuoteCenter finds itself on the doorstep of a new age in commerce that blends technology innovation with the agility of a most talented retail workforce. Join us in learning how The Home Depot QuoteCenter is leading the way into an exciting new commerce age.
QuoteCenter has become a model for employers in the Portland area for how to build a strong, diverse team. An original Clark County rural startup, they struggled early to build a diverse team of professionals. In the last 9 months, however, 40% of their 51 new hires have been women.

5:45 - “The only one in the room: success and failure on the way to diversity" by Whitney Williams, Front End Developer
