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 development teams for the last fifteen years, and he loves sharing his passion for building teams and software with audiences nationwide. As a Clean Coders author, Chris produced an educational video series entitled "Clean Code in the Browser". Chris is VP of Engineering at Thinkful and lives in the northern Chicago suburbs with his wife and two children. In his free time he enjoys drumming, woodworking, and tabletop gaming.
