Meetups (My Second, Third, And Whatever Jobs)

professional 1 Minute

On Tuesday, I hosted a Prairie Postgres meetup (blog post here)

And today, there was an ACM Chicago Chapter meetup, AI and Gamification: Why Students Cheat and How to Rebuild Learning. 🙄

Actually, it was not bad at all; although no revolutionary ideas. The more I listen to “what should we do with AI” presentations, the more I feel like absolutely nothing new happens in this area, and the scare of AI is very similar to the scare of inventing books, movies, television and internet:). The reason for posting is a rare group photo of almost all of the ACM Chicago Chapter Board (plus the presenter, and plus the Student Chapter leaders).

There were some interesting comments and discussions, but I am so much behind on my posts, that this will have to wait for later 🙂

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
