Guest Arrival and Welcome Reception
Speaker 1
6:30-7 pm CET
Ioannis Loukeris, Software Architect at Altenar.
Topic: Afternoon Tea With A Grumpy Old Man ep. 1: Better Tea Than OOP
In our complicated world the chores and uphill battles keep multiplying for the common man and there are few pleasures remaining available to us. Join this grumpy old man for the enjoyment of an afternoon cup of tea, while he will dissect the OOP paradigm. You will learn why any of the things you have been taught are totally wrong and find out the source of your Software Engineering woes. Not all is as it seems and you only stand to benefit from this little escapade out of the enforced orthodoxy of JAVA and C++, even if it is only a nice cup of tea...
Speaker 2
7:10-7:40 pm CET
Precious Ndubuisi Luke, Senior Backend Engineer at Utopie
Topic: The Modern Backend: Building Stream Processing and Messaging Pipelines with Golang
This session will go into practical insights on how to build robust stream processing and messaging pipelines using tools like Kafka, leveraging the concurrency and performance strengths of Golang to handle high-throughput, real-time workloads effectively.
Speaker 3
7:50-8:20 pm CET
David Saliba, Director of technology at Carma International Ltd
Topic: From Complexity to Clarity: The Art of Building Better Systems
A thoughtful exploration of what it means to build systems that last. In an industry often driven by the newest and most complex solutions, we'll step back and examine a different path—one that embraces simplicity not as a compromise, but as a source of strength.
In this session, we'll explore:
Why simpler systems often lead to better outcomes
How clarity beats cleverness
Finding elegance in restraint
Building systems that grow gracefully
Making choices that future teams will thank you for
Join us for a fresh perspective on how we can build better by building mindfully.
