This vast domain is ripe for innovation\, especially since most groundbreaking developments have centered around credit card systems. In this webinar\, the visionaries behind Dropp\, Inc. (a pioneering micropayment firm) will highlight the importance of crafting a solution for minor transactions. This is particularly critical for the digital services and connected devices industry\, revealing uncharted opportunities. With the emergence of new banking infrastructures from The Clearing House and FedNow\, coupled with advancements in security and digital currencies within distributed ledger technologies\, the banking industry has the potential to create pay-through-bank solutions. These alternatives challenge traditional card payment and stand as the most practical choice for everyday micropurchases\, both online and in-person payments”. \nSushil has been a technology leader\, innovator\, and entrepreneur for over 30 years. He is the CEO and co-founder of Dropp\, a digital micropayment platform. Before Dropp\, he spent 17 years as CEO and co-founder of OpenCrowd\, a Fintech product innovation firm helping Investment banks and fintech startups build and launch products. \nBefore co-founding OpenCrowd\, Prabhu was the Chief Technology Officer of Scient\, one of the fastest-growing Internet Services public firms in 2000. Sushil was responsible for architecting and building online banking and peer-to-peer payment systems for major global banks. He was also Director of Technology for Cambridge Technology Partners\, the most successful client-server distributed technology services firm in the 90s. \nThe event will be held virtually via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3948703673 URL:https://www.carolinafintechhub.org/event/payclt-sushil-prabhu-ceo-dropp-micropayment-economy/ CATEGORIES:PayCLT ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.carolinafintechhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6783109062b7543d8010cb0cb4335f63.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=-04:00:20231005T150000 DTEND;TZID=-04:00:20231005T160000 DTSTAMP:20240503T063227 CREATED:20230925T233218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231004T204449Z UID:62992-1696518000-1696521600@www.carolinafintechhub.org SUMMARY:Meet & Greet + Q&A DESCRIPTION:[Use this link to RSVP!](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrdeyvqjgjHtAXFEOfsnizet4L8NiiHJJU#/registration) \nJoin us for a virtual meet & greet event where you’ll learn how we build talent pipelines\, transform companies’ tech talent\, and partner with municipalities to train their residents! \nWe’ll also spill all the beans on our amazing tech and tech-adjacent training\, designed to prepare for roles in Software Engineering\, Data Science\, and Digital Marketing! \nDon’t let a lack of knowledge\, or fear of change hold you back – P.S.

With the rise of microservices\, their importance has risen to critical levels. Some proprietary tools for tracking have been used already: Jaeger and Zipkin naturally come to mind. \nObservability is built on three pillars: logging\, metrics\, and tracing. OpenTelemetry is a joint effort to bring an open standard to them. Jaeger and Zipkin joined the effort so that they are now OpenTelemetry compatible. \nIn this talk\, I’ll describe the above in more detail and showcase a (simple) use case to demo how you could benefit from OpenTelemetry in your distributed architecture. \n**About our speaker** \nDeveloper Advocate with 15+ years experience consulting for many different customers\, in a wide range of contexts (such as telecoms\, banking\, insurances\, large retail and public sector). Usually working on Java/Java EE and Spring technologies\, but with focused interests like Rich Internet Applications\, Testing\, CI/CD and DevOps. Also double as a trainer and triples as a book author. \nYou can find Nicolas on Twitter at [@nicolas_frankel](https://twitter.com/nicolas_frankel). \n**Agenda** \n5:30pm – 6:00pm: Networking\, food and drink \n6:00pm – 7:00pm: Talk session \n7:00pm – 7:30pm: More networking \n**Parking** \nThere are 2 entrances for The Railyard parking deck – 1 on Bland Street and 1 on Winona Street \nWhen you arrive\, pull a ticket and go through the gate to park. \n**Our Space** \nOnce you park\, please take the stairs or elevator down to the 1st floor. \nCome in through the lobby and take the elevator banks on the South Tower to the 6th floor. \nThe South Tower elevators are located on the STIR side of The RailYard\, opposed to the side with North Italia and Rhino Market & Deli \nWhen you arrive on the 6th floor\, it will take you straight to our reception area. \nIf there is no one to assist you\, please ring the Amazon doorbell located on the reception desk.
