Agenda

A Year of Portal Optimization: css-purifier, Sentry Performance, and Datadog

6:30

I'll share how we optimized a large-scale portal with both breakthroughs and setbacks over the last year. Key topics include:

  • css-purifier: tackling unused styles and lessons learned
  • qic-connect migration: integration hurdles and benefits gained
  • Sentry Performance: surprising bottlenecks in monitoring
  • Datadog dashboards: how metrics revealed systemic issues

Through real-world case studies, I'll highlight what worked, what failed, and how the team sustained progress without burnout.

Developer Productivity as a Product

7:20

As a productivity engineer I always strive to help my peers enjoy their craft. But to do that, I need the right tools and a strong product mindset. In this talk, I will share lessons learned from exploring the challenging world of product management. I will explain why the development process itself should be treated as a standalone product, and examine its key metrics and guiding principles. Do you think we will be able to find one metric to rule them all?

Formulating and Testing Hypotheses About Metric Changes: A Case Study

8:00

Metric shifts often follow product releases, ad tweaks, or new offers — but finding the real cause can be tricky. I will present a case study on conversion rates: how the team investigated fluctuations, tested hypotheses, and discovered whether growth or decline was truly happening.

Building Forms as Configuration: Declarative DSL in Action

8:30

In this presentation, I’ll share how we designed and implemented a declarative form library at Holland & Barrett, powered by a domain-specific language (DSL). Instead of manually building forms with useState, useEffect, and complex conditionals, we define them entirely through configuration: fields, behavior, dependencies, and validation — all in one place. I’ll demonstrate how this approach improves consistency, scalability, and development speed. I’ll also show real cases, key learnings, and architectural insights.
