Global payment systems are intended to connect us all, yet they often overlook the unique challenges faced by people in underserved economies. This talk dives into the creative ways Nigerians navigate and design payment solutions when major platforms fail to address local realities. For freelancers and entrepreneurs from Nigeria and other similar socioeconomic contexts, accessing international clients or services isn’t always straightforward. Traditional payment systems can be restrictive, making it difficult to send or receive funds, and global platforms often lack support for local currencies, banking structures, and reliable access.

I will share insights from my personal experience as a freelancer from Nigeria, covering both the challenges and the ingenious, often community-driven solutions Nigerians have developed to thrive financially. From mobile banking innovations and peer-to-peer transactions to informal digital networks, these strategies reflect a deep cultural and technological adaptability.

By examining how people work around these gaps, this talk will offer practical takeaways for designers and developers aiming to create more flexible and inclusive financial tools. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the resilience in these communities and learn how to incorporate similar adaptability, inclusivity, and human-centred thinking into global design solutions for payment systems.

Step into the intriguing world of hackers and uncover the techniques they use to access personal and sensitive information. Explore their methods, understand the risks and learn how to protect yourself in today’s digital landscape.

In more and more projects, we find ourselves needing libraries to share code and features, all while managing different framework versions. At CamelStudio, we encountered this need in one of our projects: developing a Java library compatible with both Java 17 and Java 8.

To address this challenge, we turned to multi-profile artifacts, a solution that allows us to build specific versions tailored to each target environment. Additionally, we set up a GitLab CI pipeline to test and easily generate these various artifacts.

In this talk, I’ll explain how multi-profile artifacts work and how to implement them.

Agenda:

• Introduction to Java artifacts
• Generating a library for Java 17
• Overview of classifiers and multi-profile artifacts
• Building the library with two profiles for compatibility with both Java 17 and Java 8
• Setting up GitLab CI for releasing, packaging, and versioning artifacts

When trying to refactor code, how many times have you traveled back in time unraveling mysteries, revisiting forgotten decisions, and questioning past logic just to make sense of it all? In this talk, we will explore why it matters to improve our code, when it’s time to refactor, best practices to follow, real-world cases , and much more

React Native permet aujourd’hui de créer facilement des animations fluides et élégantes, améliorant l’expérience utilisateur et rendant les applications plus attractives. Dans cette conférence, nous explorerons plusieurs types d’animations simples à développer et à intégrer dans vos projets.

The web is capable of way more than we might think. During this talk, we’ll explore some lesser known parts of the web. Did you know you can control the web via webHID or send notes to devices via webMIDI? In this interactive talk we might make some music together, by controlling synthesisers and exploring the wide range of strange web API’s

AI is changing the role of software engineers. Instead of replacing us, AI is pushing engineers to focus more on higher-level tasks like system architecture and user experience design. I’ll talk about why human oversight is still essential to ensure quality and compliance, especially in sensitive areas like fintech. Plus, I’ll touch on the tricky issues of intellectual property and how to implement AI tools strategically while keeping our data safe.

I think that being developers, we all started a side-project that we never finished.

Some of us even started a lot of projects and finished none of them 😅 In this REX I will explain how I built TraveledMap.com, a side-project I created for my own usage first, and that now has 8k users and generates revenues.

I leveraged the best of all worlds to create a system of unmatched performance in Unreal Engine. It’s versatile, highly customizable, ultra fast and precise. It was a nightmare of 800 hours to code, the first time ever in my decade+ career that I doubted my capacity to just even conceive the software, not mentioning implementing the solution.

I used industry grade lock-free task queue in C++ in a multithreaded environment, coupled with Unreal Engine PCG framework to achieve what No Man Sky achieved. But as a solo developer.

In this talk, we’ll explore how frontend developers can manage secrets securely without exposing sensitive data to the wrong hands. Learn practical techniques to keep your environment variables safe while maintaining a seamless development experience.
