Get to know the Satellite speakers

Satellite, a major European conference, is set to take place in London with notable speakers such as Amy Dickens, a GitHub Campus Expert and PhD student researching gesture-controlled sound for users with complex disabilities, and Jacob Tomlinson, a Lead Engineer at the Met Office Informatics Lab. Amy Dickens began her development career in audio programming and is passionate about promoting gender equality in tech through community-building projects, while she faces challenges with sensors and machine learning for her research. Jacob Tomlinson's career was sparked by a fascination with web development, and he now works on the Jade project to create scalable data processing systems for environmental scientists, alongside developing a Python chatbot framework called opsdroid. Both speakers express enthusiasm for collaboration and innovation, although they encounter challenges such as processing large volumes of data and advancing machine learning techniques.
