  life of an SRE”\, including the common duties of the role and challenge
 s that go along with it. They’ll also discuss the culture of DevOps at W
 orkSafeBC\, including how the team collaborates with various Agile teams t
 hrough the software development lifecycle.\n\nJason Bellis began his IT ca

  other areas including Software Configuration Management and deployment au

  software engineering to apply big-picture analysis to systems engineering
  problems.\n\nNaveen Aggarwal’s background includes developing collabora
 tion platforms\, content management systems and automation solutions. He i

 ervice Engineer to Azure Technical Lead. Naveen is passionate about troubl
 eshooting applications at scale and distributed systems. During his career
  he has developed a deep love for sustainable operations\, proper observab
 ility\, using data to drive discussions and make decisions.\n\nSteen Bray:
  “Agile Architecture”:\n\nHow do you embed Architecture and Strategy i
 nto an Agile environment? Steen Bray will share his experience in standing
  up an architecture practice in the middle of an in-flight Digital Transfo
 rmation Program. He will share the reasons why architecture is still neede
 d in an Agile focused program\, what worked for the program and what didn
 ’t. He will also share how everyone kept their sanity in the middle of t
 he chaos!\n\nSteen Bray is a senior TOGAF certified Enterprise\, Data\, In
 tegration and Solutions Architect with over twenty years of architectural 
 experience across various industries. Steen has been involved in multiple 
 Transformation programs and is passionate about the importance of architec
