Software development is evolving daily. It’s no longer enough to be a Full Stack Developer who simply delivers features—the best engineers are those who also understand their product inside and out. Developers who think beyond tickets, ask the right questions, and challenge assumptions create better, more impactful software. This talk will discuss how integrating DevOps practices, continuous feedback, and product thinking into your development workflow leads to smarter decisions, better engineering trade-offs, and software that actually serves its users. If you want to future-proof your career, it’s time to go beyond Full Stack—it’s time to think Full Product.
As technology evolves—faster than new JavaScript frameworks pop up—one thing remains true: a product needs to be wanted to succeed. In this talk, I’ll make the case that understanding the product isn’t just for product managers; it’s key for developers too. When engineers think about the product early, they make better decisions about architecture, tooling, and development strategies—helping ship quality software faster. Developers who adopt this mindset will be better equipped to build products that truly make an impact.
