The image is a digital graphic primarily designed for a professional profile feature, likely to be used on a website or social media. The background is vibrant orange, with graphical elements such as waveforms and a play button, which may suggest a multimedia or audio theme. On the top right, there's an overlaid graphic resembling a lighthouse, potentially a part of the logo for "ION." The main focus is a circular portrait of a man named Glen McCracken, labeled as "Head of Data Analytics at ION." He is smiling, and his photo is placed inside a white circle with a blue outline. The bottom of the image features the word "Techtalks" in large white font, hinting that this could be part of a series of talks or presentations related to technology. The overall design is modern and dynamic, with a clear focus on introducing the subject as a speaker or authority in his field.

This image is a flame graph representing the performance profile of a software application. It is primarily colored in gradients of red, orange, and yellow, with various shades indicating different levels of resource consumption. The vertical axis represents the stack depth, where each block represents a function in the call stack at a moment in time; the wider the block, the more time the program spent in that function. Text labels overlay the blocks, indicating function names, with some labels mentioning 'waitress', 'pyramid', 'bootstrap', and 'our code'. The image is complex, with many overlapping layers of blocks and text, suggesting a detailed profiling session designed to diagnose performance issues or bottlenecks within the software.
