Stratpoint Technologies, one of the country’s leading software development and digital transformation services providers, announced its participation at Softcon 2021, an annual gathering of software and IT professionals in the Philippines.

Every year, technology advocates, IT professionals, software engineers, and business leaders come together in this celebration of Filipino talent, innovation, and business breakthroughs in technology, organized by the Philippine Software Industry Association (PSIA).

This time, Stratpoint will take the stage in Softcon 2021, with two Stratpoint engineers joining the prestigious speaker lineup. Together with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Stratpoint will also be hosting a virtual booth during the event from October 25 to 29.

Stratpoint Technical Manager for Flutter Zonily Jame Pesquera will present “Gitlab CI and Flutter.” Pesquera will talk about how delivering test versions of mobile applications to stakeholders, testers, and developers via the internet can be automated with CI/CD pipelines such as Gitlab.

A community leader of Flutter Philippines, Pesquera will bring forward a timely solution to the challenges of the software development industry as individual mobility remains restricted. Pesquera’s session will take place on October 25, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Meanwhile, Stratpoint Technical Manager for Artificial Intelligence Antonio Umali will take on the topic “Deploying Video-based AI/ML Application: Challenges and Insights.” In his session, Umali will testify how converting an image processing AI pipeline to handle videos is not as straightforward as it seems. He will share the Stratpoint AI Team’s journey in developing video processing pipelines, including challenges, solutions, and lessons learned from developing novel and more complex computer vision applications in the cloud. This session will be on October 26, 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM.

Stratpoint’s Mary Rose dela Cruz, who is also one of the Board of Directors of PSIA, says, “As Stratpoint’s CEO, I am very proud that two members of my team will join the roster of speakers composed of executives from the likes of Netflix, Facebook, Globe, and Unionbank — all industry leaders and movers and handpicked by a discerning committee. I’m glad Softcon 2021 has found a way to push through with a virtual gathering — sharing best practices and knowledge among members of the industry is important to inspire everyone to rise again amid an ongoing crisis.”
