At Vancouver's Cloud Summit 2024, I presented on how to develop directly in the cloud (particularly AWS) and the numerous benefits it has, including which architectural layer can benefit most from it. I was one of three community speakers and this talk was labeled the "Advanced" talk.
In Vancouver Full Stack Developers Meetup group, I presented on the importance of emphasizing product development speed as a key trait of your application's architecture and the team's mindset. The slides can be found here.
