At GSAS, newcrafts, and FlowCon, I was invited to give my talk on slowing down to speed up your decision-making. I love this talk, I have been digging into decision-making theory for 10 years now and I am finally on stage talking about everything I learned along the way!

A company I consulted at had some issues with their synchronisation. The synchronisation between the microservices of their software system had not been implemented according to the users needs. On top of that, it had a lot of failures too. The users would add or change information on one UI screen, but it would not show up or showed up hours later on other UI screens. Because of that the trust in the software system had vanished. Too many failures during synchronisation without any notifications and bad requirements resulted in the users no longer trusting the software system.

At JAX London, I was invited to give my talk on making sustainable design decisions. This time I did it on my own, without the help of my co-authors Kenny Baas-Schwegler and Evelyn van Kelle. I tried a new way to build up to talk here, starting from design decisions and move into the social challenges these bring.

At JAX Mainz, I was invited to give my talk on making sustainable design decisions. This time I did it on my own, without the help of my co-authors Kenny Baas-Schwegler and Evelyn van Kelle. It is similar to the DDDEU23 talk I gave, but I had a bit more time here, so I dive deeper into what decisions are.

At Copenhagen Developers Festival, I was invited to give a talk about bounded contexts as understandability boundaries. I did this presentation together with my colleague Mathias Verraes.
