For the last two years, Chris Powers has led the development of Groupon’s “Bloodhound” tracking system which collects and records user behavior metrics across the globe.
Throughout this process, nearly as many things went wrong as went right. Lessons were learned along this path towards “tracking all the things”, and Chris will be pointing out both the pitfalls and the big wins to look for while building out a behavior tracking infrastructure.
Chris Powers has been leading software engineering organizations for the last 17 years, and he loves speaking about his experiences and learnings with audiences nationwide. As a Clean Coders author, Chris produced the "Clean Code in the Browser" video series applying the SOLID principles to browser-based applications. Chris lives in the northern Chicago suburbs with his wife and two children, and in his free time enjoys drumming, woodworking, and tabletop gaming.
