A 30-Year Journey from Compilation Student to Decompilation Pioneer
Having worked on a machine code interpreter for the Modula-2 language for my Compilers project in 1990 and later integrating it into a mixed GPM Modula-2 compiler/interpreter for the 8086 during the summer of 1990-91 meant that I was familiar with assembly language and had a notion of transforming an intermediate representation into executable assembly code. Enjoying compilers and hearing about the latest viruses that were becoming popular in DOS binaries raised my interest in looking into binaries/executable programs to determine how to reverse compile them back into a high-level language representation, to be able to aid with an automated tool in understanding what the virus code was doing. And hence I enrolled in a PhD in April 1991. Close to 32 years ago, on 4th July 1994, I submitted my PhD thesis on "Reverse Compilation Techniques". Little did I know that such a fun project, looking into 80286 DOS binaries and reading assembly, drawing graphs of groups of assembly instructions, understanding how parameters were passed in assembly language, determining what optimising compilers would do to optimised parameters and code, following variables through a function and the whole program to understand data flows and how variables were stored on the stack or memory; would result in techniques that would be picked up in the 2000s with the growing interest in application security. In this keynote I give a retrospective on the decompilation PhD work, the growing interest on this technology throughout the past three decades, examples of commercial uses of decompilation, and conclude with current AI work that enables further analyses in decompilers.
Reverse Engineering Cloud Native: Interoperability and Community
Kubernetes has become the default container orchestrator framework, setting the standards for application deployment in a distributed environment. In the past years, numerous tools have been developed to extend Kubernetes capabilities and enhance its features. Simultaneously, the expansion of the technology landscape prompted the growth of the adopter base and the number of scenarios where cloud native can be applied. The organic adoption and development of new tools, created the ecosystem and community as we know it today. This keynote will feature the core principles that define the next generation's identity of cloud native practitioners using a reverse engineering approach. It will present the interoperability of tools, inclusivity at the community and adopters level, and a culture of change and education that drives the ubiquity of the cloud native.
Designing APIs for Humans
What makes a developer API feel intuitive? In this talk, Daniel walks through the process of designing a Nuxt module from scratch, exploring the principles of good DX - from naming conventions to error messages to sensible defaults - and how to build APIs that developers actually enjoy using.

Multimodal AI at EDP
The AI Guardrails
The AI Guardrails (Automate Everything, Except Judgment: AI Trade-offs in Critical Business Software) 1. Velocidade vs. Confiança Os utilizadores empresariais não adotam AI que não entendem. Como se explica sem sacrificar a sofisticação do modelo? O que significa ""transparência"" para um CFO vs. para um engenheiro? 2. Automação vs. Controlo humano Onde é que a AI deve decidir sozinha, onde deve sugerir, e onde deve simplesmente ficar fora do caminho? A framework de decisão que usamos na Cegid para definir estes limites. 3. Inovação vs. Regulação GDPR, AI Act europeu, compliance laboral por país — como se inova dentro de um labirinto regulatório que varia a cada mercado? E porquê isso pode ser uma vantagem competitiva, não um obstáculo. Como é que a Cegid está a equilibrar estes 3 trade-offs e a entregar AI aos seus clientes?

How Work Gets Seen: Inside the Reviewer’s Mind
Creative work in production is reviewed quickly and under pressure.

Using publicly released examples, he explores visual clarity, hierarchy, feedback dynamics, and how evaluation shifts across production stages. This workshop focuses on perception and communication — not technical tricks — giving participants practical tools to make their work read clearly and move forward in collaborative environments.
From impostor to "sorta good"
This keynote will focus on my career in animation and observations on how "Impostor syndrome" has affected myself and my work, and how I learned to manage it.
Change The Game You’re Playing
Most people try to move faster by working harder — optimizing inside the same rules everyone else is playing by. But the people who move fastest aren’t just better at the game; they change the game they’re playing. In this keynote, Kemer Stevenson shares lessons from a nearly two-decade career navigating high-pressure creative and technical environments, exploring why careers often stall even when talent and effort are high — and what actually creates momentum over the long term. Drawing on real experiences, personal missteps, and a set of practical guiding principles, Kemer reframes career growth as a strategic problem rather than a test of endurance. This talk is about learning to recognize when you’re optimizing the wrong game, how to make yourself legible and memorable in complex systems, and how to build a career that compounds through clarity, trust, and intention — not burnout or hustle. Attendees will leave with a new lens for thinking about progress, opportunity, and what it really means to move forward in demanding creative and technical fields.
How I use technical skills to solve challenges related to character rigging on Feature Animated movies at DreamWorks Animation
