Meet our keynote speaker
Gina Brusco

Gina Brusco graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2023 with a B.S. in Computer Science.

Directly afterwards, she started her career as a Software Engineer through Capital One’s Technology and Development Program, where she currently works in the Capital One Software division.

Besides her job, Gina is very passionate about helping others and making a difference using her technical skills. She has volunteered with groups like Engineers Without Borders, where she used her tech skills to develop tools for local communities.

Gina also has spent time working with the organizations Engineering Tomorrow and Capital One Coders, hoping to inspire the next generation of engineers through education.
