07-04, 15:00–15:45 (Africa/Cairo), Hall 2 (Ground Floor)

Both in personal and work lives- automation can ease our tasks. Together we will explore different times when to use it, review some code, and learn how to think automation and how to implement it. Let’s discover the amazing power of automation!


What is your first association when you hear “automation”? Is it QA automation? Business Process Automation? Data Analysis? If we explore it deeply, we can reveal many undiscovered layers- many uses of automation in many aspects of life.

Ever since my first position as an EDA Engineer - Electronics Design Automation Engineer – many years passed, I have been to many development positions, and I still find myself using these abilities I acquired, to improve my performance and excel in my tasks, both at work and my personal projects. Have you ever looked for a solution to ease your tasks in your personal or work life? Have you ever tried to think Automation? Can we really use it outside the defined world of automation jobs?

In this entry level lecture we will review together some real cases I dealt with and how I used Automation as a solution and improvement tool - automating repetitive commands, automating manual work, extracting information out of a big data and even writing a script that writes a reusable code. We will analyze the issues, review some code and discover the Power of Python in these tasks, and together we will train “automation thinking”.

Join me on the full fascinating tour of the automation mindset, and come out with a new and improved skill in your “bag of tricks”.

I've been programming for over 20 years since high school, and I have more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Most of these years have been spent in different R&D positions. My first job was as an EDA Engineer - Electronics Design Automation Engineer - and the skills I acquired during those first years have stayed with me to this day, both in my work and personal life. I have gained experience and hands-on knowledge in programming, teaching and mentoring programmers and engineers, and lecturing in various places.
