Freepik meetings are back!

Coming up to winter we’re delighted to have resumed the second season of our Freepik meetings. So far, it’s been extremely successful and we couldn’t have hoped for a better turn out!

We’d really like to highlight three of the talks that were held as part of our ongoing meetings at Freepik HQ. These particular encounters, led by industry experts, were technology related and focused on the latest tools and trends in this sector. 

Carlos Bote, a Transparent CDN specialist, began the meeting. This first talk addressed the “digital transformation” that companies are undergoing, and how the obligation to optimize their processes and improve their customer service doesn’t necessarily translate to an increase in productivity. Carlos wanted to analyze the reasons for this and offer some possible solutions.

The next speaker to take the stage was Google Cloud director, Juanjo García, who examined the way that machine learning is implemented in Google products. He covered the main innovation areas for Google, emphasizing the relevance of certain tools used to create new companies and business models in the simplest and fastest ways. On top of that, the discussion covered the three most important areas that Google is currently working on: Kubernetes, Machine Learning, and BigData.

Franci González, Ciklum senior developer, was the icing on the cake. He focused on the importance of a clean PHP and the responsibility of writing a readable code that’s easy to maintain. The main ideas behind this talk were based on the book Clean Code, by Robert C. Martin, which offers some great guidelines with practical examples for developers, on how to keep a clean code.

To sum up, we were incredibly pleased to host these experts and enjoy the knowledge they shared with us. Be sure not to miss out on the next ones!
