The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is a global management consulting firm that advises industry leading companies on value creation strategies, innovation, transformation, supply chain management and much more. BCG provides recommendations and analytics that are custom tailored to the needs of each client.

To do this BCG is transforming what used to be presentations and manual models into software that is prototyped and distributed to their client to run on their infrastructure – in effect changing the way BCG delivers value. However the productization process poses unique challenges and opportunities. Their clients have every type of infrastructure and application stack within their IT environments, how can BCG ensure that the custom built analytics applications will operate well at scale in their client’s production environment – especially when it is an environment that they don’t control? The bespoke nature of the BCG business led the team to embark on an engineering led journey to containerization with Docker. Attend this session to learn more about the approach, challenges and how BCG is enabling transformation with Docker Enterprise Edition.

I’ve been obsessed with computers since I got my first Commodore 64. I studied Computer Science and Business Administration at Queens University Belfast.

During my gap year I worked at Sun Microsystems in Dublin and loved every second of it. After graduation I moved to Dublin and worked full time at Sun as a Java QA automation engineer. Other jobs included Configuration manager at Citigroup, systems automation engineer at Oracle and currently working at Demonware (Activision) as a build engineer.

My free time is spent with my family, some blogging, playing about with new tech and lots of coffee drinking. I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with some amazing engineers over the past 15 years and I feel that it’s my duty to pay that forward. I’m happy to mentor, teach, host Meetups, bootcamps etc.

I like to work with those who are passionate about technology and the positive changes it can bring about in the world.
