University of Florida graduate Daniel Evenson founded Pathway Systems in 2008 to solve IT complexity problems using graph theory and modeling/simulation.
Daniel will present strategies for documenting and understanding large, complex IT systems via dependency mapping.
Daniel will also demonstrate Blueprints, a solution built around Open Source tools that provides visualization of structured information, communicating useful information about connectivity and status.

Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

Uber engineers detailed how they evolved their storage platform from static rate limiting to a priority-aware load management system. The approach protects Docstore and Schemaless, Uber’s MySQL-based distributed databases, by colocating control with storage, prioritizing critical traffic, and dynamically shedding load under overload conditions.

Continuous learning, adaptability, and strong support networks are the foundations for thriving teams, Matthew Card mentioned. Trust is built through consistent, fair leadership and addressing toxic behaviour, bias, and microaggressions early. By fostering growth, psychological safety, and accountability, people-first leadership drives resilience, collaboration, and performance.

Moumita Bhattacharya discusses the evolution of Netflix’s ranking systems, from the multi-model architecture to a Unified Contextual Recommender (UniCoRn). She explains how they built a task-agnostic User Foundation Model to capture long-term member preferences. Learn how they solve system challenges like high-throughput inference and the tradeoff between relevance and personalization.
