Current themes

A few current themes. Each talk adapts to context and format.

  • Building a living map of the information system

    Organizations decide on frozen diagrams or incomplete inventories; no one shares the same representation of the system.

    Audience: CTOs, architects, platform and security leads

  • SBOM as a decision tool, not a compliance checkbox

    SBOMs are produced for audits but rarely used to prioritize risk or arbitrate updates.

    Audience: CISOs, supply chain leads, platform and SRE leads

  • Why fifty thousand alerts do not make a system safer

    Observability is confused with signal volume; teams drown in alerts without reducing risk.

    Audience: SREs, observability leads, engineering managers

  • Platform engineering: reducing cognitive load without new bureaucracy

    Internal Developer Platforms become rigid single windows instead of simplifying the path to production.

    Audience: Platform engineers, CTOs, product and infrastructure leads

  • Designing digital products for constrained markets

    Products designed for a global market fail against local regulatory, cultural, and infrastructure constraints.

    Audience: Founders, product leads, investors, and institutional partners

  • External dependencies: what Kubernetes does not show you

    Workloads depend on off-cluster services; the control plane neither maps their health nor their SLO impact.

    Audience: SREs, platform engineers, cloud-native architects

  • Architecture, risk, and irreversible decisions

    Architecture choices are treated as reversible when they commit cost, security, and product trajectory for years.

    Audience: CTOs, CISOs, enterprise architects, and technical steering committees
