Talks & Conferences
Welcome to the conference and technical presentations hub. Here you will find summaries, presentation slides, and interactive materials from talks given at technical meetups and conferences.
Featured & Proposed Sessions
The Return of Software Engineering in the Age of AI
Why classical software engineering practices (specs, domain modeling, contracts) are essential for AI coding agents, and how AI makes Specification-Driven Development practical again.
Resilience Without Clusters: Disaster Recovery on a Budget
Practical disaster recovery on a two-node Proxmox setup: understanding RPO/RTO tradeoffs, ZFS asynchronous replication, deduplicated backups, and simple failover workflows.
Speaking Topics & Expertise
I occasionally speak about modern infrastructure, cloud-native architectures, and software craftsmanship:
- 🏠 Homelab Architecture & Virtualization: Proxmox VE high availability, ZFS storage strategies, network segmentation with VLANs, and self-hosting best practices.
- ☕ Kotlin & JVM Ecosystem: Clean architecture, asynchronous programming with coroutines, and pragmatic backend engineering.
- 🛡️ Observability, Reliability & Automation: Infrastructure-as-code, monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana), and resilient self-hosted services.
Format & Presentation Tooling (Slidev)
All presentation decks are built with Slidev — a modern, Markdown-based presentation framework for developers.
- 🖥️ Interactive Web Slides: Hosted directly as standalone web applications with responsive design for desktop and mobile viewing.
- ⌨️ Keyboard Navigation: Use the arrow keys or spacebar to advance through slides.
- 🎨 Developer-Centric: Clean typography, syntax highlighting powered by Shiki, and embedded interactive code snippets.
