KEY TALK
Tour of Blockchain
Blockchain has become the new “looking for problems” technical solution in domains from diamond tracking, to securities clearing and property registers to KYC customer checking. In this talk, we will briefly review the fundamental ideas underpinning blockchain technologies and consider what problems its defining architectural characteristics make it suitable for. We will get an idea of what it is like to work with blockchain technology by showing how to write and execute some simple "smart contracts" in a development environment. We will cover what a blockchain is and is not, the architectural characteristics of blockchain technology, possible uses of blockchain and the development process for smart contract based systems.

KEY TALK
Blockchain Technical Exploration
Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ethereum are some of the cryptocurrencies that hide a bigger picture around blockchain, the technology that drives them. This talk will not be about how the market is accepting cryptocurrencies or how you can use them. What you can expect is to see how to “interact” with blockchain, what are the tools and programming languages you can use and the possible applications of the technology.
Vlado Bozhinovski is a Design Lead with more than 12 year of experiences in the Software Engineering field, having worked with several technologies, including Java, C# and JavaScript. He is always trying to improve the performance and quality of the software he and team develop by constantly learning and improving innovative methodologies and practices.
KEY TALK
Serverless Architecture
Get a brief introduction to Serverless Architecture and Serverless computing: What is Serverless architecture and why should we care? What is Backend as a Service (BaaS) and Function as a Service (FaaS). In addition, we will briefly cover the current options: AWS, Azure, and Google.
Elizabeta Ilievska is a passionate senior software engineer in Endava, currently working on building back-end systems for the Banking sector. She has more than 5 years of experience in software development and is interested in methodologies that improve productivity and the quality of software development on large distributed projects.
KEY TALK
Quality Views: A new way of improving quality
Working in an Agile, rapid development environment, across multiple distributed teams, with a strong chain of dependencies is bound to leave a mark on the code. Elizabeta will go through our method of handling technical depth, inspired by Tesla’s use of Quality Views. By custom tailoring this method of visualising technical depth, we are able to boost awareness around the quality of the code, with both development teams and the project’s stakeholders.

He joined the industry to work on redesigning an AI system for the Top Eleven football manager game after which he worked on the development of a full stack indie game and now he is working on highly-scalable solutions for Endava. He is currently implementing a micro-services architecture on existing products for a zero-downtime solution.
KEY TALK
We are software development artists
See an unconventional presentation about how we can benefit from an artist’s way of working. Stefan will go through the best practices applied for centuries in the world’s 7 traditional arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, music, poetry, dance, performing), emphasize on which of those are the most beneficial, and have a foundation that makes them applicable in software development as well.
Aleksandar Trajanovski is a Software Engineer interested in the crossroad of business and technology, so being exposed to a constant flow of innovative technologies is like a second nature for him.
