Salesforce Tech Talk

The interesting stuff happens at the edges, where different disciplines overlap. In my experience, often the most interesting solutions are found by people working in areas considered to be slightly (or wholly) outside their supposed area of expertise. In this talk, I will tell a number of stories from my past about multi-disciplinary research success and failure. Some of these stories may even be true.
