<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt">After 15+ years in private sector engineering &
scientific R&D, moving into the public sector was quite an awakening. How do you leapfrog a culture that’s technologically
a decade or more behind the curve? One
method that has started to show success is leveraging Python as a practitioner's
tool rather than just another "programming language". In this

practitioner's tool can help plant seeds of innovation in environments &
cultures that are traditionally slow to adopt new technology. Sample projects include, but are not limited to:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><br></div>
