Throw exceptions... out of your codebase
Throwing exceptions is often used to handle errors, validations, and other specific use cases. It is considered by many to be the standard way of indicating a failure and providing feedback to the caller. However, this approach can cause significant issues like being hard to detect, obfuscating the flow or leaving the system invalid.
In this talk, I want to show you a faster alternative that offers more transparency and predictability. We will see how to integrate ideas from the Functional paradigm, such as "Monads", into an Object-Oriented codebase using a real-life project: Vonage's open-source .NET SDK. This talk will be the perfect opportunity to show you what they are and how easy they are to use.
Cybersecurity assesment as a part of CI/CD
As far as cybersecurity become more crucial part of each application and IT project. I wish to make a simple policies more familiar to each developer. As the inseparable part of project automated CI/CD it can be easily extended to ensure highest cybersec standards by extending it by SAC, SAST, Vulnerability scanning & automated penetration tests. In the presentation I will show the approach, tooling and architecture tips & tricks how to deal with threat assesment based on the reports.

I help developers build better software. In recent years, I’ve focused on sharing my experience through mentoring, public speaking, and open-source contributions; all aimed at helping teams grow and build sustainable software. With nearly 15 years of experience in .NET development, I’ve worked across industries as an engineer, coach, and now developer advocate.
My current focus is on developer experience: building SDKs, writing approachable technical content, and speaking at conferences around the world. At Vonage, I maintained the open-source .NET SDK, represented the company at events, and acted as a bridge between product and developer communities.
I believe quality isn’t optional. Extreme Programming, Continuous Delivery, and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything I do.
I regularly share these values through workshops, mentoring, and public talks, including my recent talk, "Throw Exceptions... Out of Your Codebase". Always happy to connect, learn, and contribute, whether it’s about .NET, DevRel, or Software Craftsmanship.
