droidcon Berlin #dcbln21

CityCube Berlin, Berlin, Germany

website

21 October 2021

Have you ever had an experience where a small voice in your head prevented you from acting on an idea, stopped you from sharing your knowledge or trying something new, or maybe even made you feel like your achievements were nothing special? That voice is more common than you think!

In this talk we will go over the basic steps that will help you materialize, deconstruct and take control of that voice, helping you distinguish the useful bits of information that can help you grow from the overwhelming debris and clutter. You will learn how to notice the early signs of its onset and manage the situation to your benefit.

Finally, you will learn to use simple tools that will help you recognize and acknowledge your achievements and help yourself and others fight the invisible menace.


Projects reinvented

Hotel Antunović, Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska)

Fokus prezentacije:
> Lekcije koje smo naučili prilikom prilagodbe na novo „normalno“
> Kako osigurati produktivnost u neočekivano stresnoj situaciji?
> Kako miitigirati manjak „face-to-face“ suradnje i je li ona nužna?
> Kako razbiti (i dalje prisutnu) stigmu rada od doma?
> Gdje je granica agilnosti i kaosa?

Rezime:
Agilni „mindset“ je bio ključan za prilagodbu Assecovog mobile tima na poslovanje tijekom pandemije, od suradnje internog i vanjskih timovima, komunikacije s klijentima, ali i za općenitu organizaciju rada. U ovoj prezentaciji ćemo proći što smo sve prihvatili, čega smo se odrekli i kako smo usprkos svemu uspjeli dodatno napredovati.

Ključne poruke („take-aways“):
1. Ljudi su (uvijek) prioritet - briga o pojedincima je briga o timu
2. Prava prilagodba znači prihvaćanje novih, ali i napuštanje starih navika
3. Metodologije, alati i pristup ljudima nikad nisu „one size fits all“

presented together with Karlo Levak

Don't ask for security, ask for an adventure! Or not?

Mobile security has come a long way in the last few years, but it has definitely had its share of design and implementation faux pas, some far more memorable than others.
In this talk we'll go through Android and iOS security and its history; trends that were invented, reinvented and copied, how each platform approaches keeping their users safe, and share a laugh about the mistakes that were made along the way.

In the end you'll have greater insight in the history of security, how it has shaped the design of both platforms and how you can contribute to a greater user experience in your applications, while keeping your users safe!

The reality that any employer faces today is that it is increasingly difficult to find new talent. Once you do find them, you need keep your employees challenged and happy in order for them to stay.
