The morning keynote speaker was Kristina Pereyra. A University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program alumnus, she is now a software engineer for SQRIBE Technologies in Menlo Park, California. She talked about her work in cellular biology, relational databases and software engineering. Kristina described how she applied her mathematical background to these areas through data analysis and the study of the logic of computer languages. In addition, she discussed another of her professional responsibilities, which is interviewing and hiring candidates for technical positions. Kristina said that she has found that there is a shortage of qualified people to fill these positions and that many companies are desperate to find more people with these skills. She encouraged the members of the audience to consider careers in these areas.
