How to deal with technical debt in fast-paced environments
Flash Talk (INTERMEDIATE level)
Ambasciatori
It's crucial to acknowledge that technical debt is inevitable in large codebases due to time and resource constraints, and the fact that resolving technical debt might not always be a business priority. That is why learning to effectively manage technical debt is vital. In this talk, I will discuss a strategy I use to maintain the codebases I work with, without hindering business demands due to technical requirements. This is particularly beneficial for consumer-facing teams, where there's a continuous feature pipeline and an aging codebase that must adapt to new demands.

Hi, I’m a computer scientist from Brazil who loves coding the web and building digital products. I started my career 7 years ago, primarily as a Frontend Engineer. However, I also have a passion for building APIs, especially GraphQL’s, which led me to gradually shift to a Fullstack role. I worked for 3 years at VTEX, the largest E-commerce platform in Latin America, where I developed a love for building digital products. I even explored the business side when I had the opportunity to start an MBA within VTEX. Afterward, I decided to explore Europe and ended up at a Swedish fintech company, Klarna, where I build their post-purchase experience in React Native. Currently, I am focusing on becoming a proficient Tech Lead, sharing the knowledge I've gained throughout my career wherever I work, including in my blog posts. 🙂
