About Tristan Chiappisi

With over a decade and a half of programming and working with data, I have a passion for anything related to the subject. If it has something to do with technology, I’m in.

Beyond my professional realm, I’m a dad to a vibrant crew of young adventurers. Together, we seek out outdoor thrills, from skiing to biking, in my perpetual quest to earn the ‘cool dad’ badge.

Session 1: Caffeinate Your Queries: Brew Up Faster SQL with Tuning

1 May 2026 09:30 AM | Back to the Future - Theatre 3 (1,2)
Track: Data Engineering & Analytics

In this session, embark on an engaging exploration as we unravel the mysteries of query tuning. From deciphering sluggish queries to unleashing their full potential, we will explore advanced techniques for optimizing SQL performance. Discover the art of indexing, rewriting queries for efficiency, leveraging execution plans, and unearthing hidden bottlenecks. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or SQL enthusiast, you’ll leave armed with the skills to transform your queries from coffee-break slow to lightning-fast.

Session 2: Unlocking Quantum Computing: An Overview

1 May 2026 11:30 AM | The Matrix - Theatre 15 (10, 11)
Track: Other

Quantum computing is coming, but most of the explanations out there are either too academic or too hand-wavy to be useful. This talk is a practical overview for developers who want to understand what quantum computing actually is, why it matters, and where it’s headed. We’ll walk through the core concepts like superposition, entanglement, and interference without the math-heavy deep dive. You’ll see what quantum computers are good at, what they’re not, and how they might affect the systems and security decisions you make in the future. No physics background required. You’ll walk away with enough understanding to follow the conversation and recognize when quantum starts to matter for your work.
