September TrueNorthCTO @ Toronto Event
2025.05 - TrueNorthCTO @ Toronto
This session will include 2 presentations/demonstrations:
1) Why Your Cloud Bill Is a Culture Problem, Not a Tech Problem
Presenter: Aiman Parvaiz, Founder - NimbusStack
LinkedIn: aiman-parvaiz
Most companies attack cloud costs with tools, dashboards and discounts yet their bills keep climbing. The real problem isn’t technology, it’s culture. Without leadership alignment and a cost-conscious engineering mindset, savings stay stuck in spreadsheets.
In this session, we’ll explore how management practices, cultural buy-in, and context-rich FinOps can transform cloud cost optimization from one-off cuts into sustainable, strategic advantage.
2) Vibe Coding with Lovable
Presenter: John Kost, Founder – LVS.ai
LinkedIn: johnkost
Building a Digital Clinician Platform for the coming age, with AI-based tools that are coming of age quickly. A six-month window walk-thru.
The agenda:
6:00 PM - 6:30 PM – Networking (Food & Refreshments)
6:30 PM – 8:00 PM - Presentations and Q/A
8:00 PM – 9:00 PM - Networking/Discussion
Food and beverages will be sourced for the event. The organizer (a volunteer) will make a good-faith effort to provide a variety of food/beverage options. However, pre-selecting meal options is not an option due to bandwidth limitations.
TrueNorthCTO is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit, and curated community of senior technology leaders (e.g. CTOs, CPOs, CIOs, CISOs, CAIOs etc.) across Canada.
TrueNorth provides a collaborative and supportive environment where technologists can share insights, mentor, inspire, and learn from one another based on our collective knowledge and experiences.
The attendance will be curated with preference to those who are senior leaders AND technologists.
