Expert talk: How Internal Developer Platforms accelerate delivery
This session explores how Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) help teams accelerate delivery, reduce friction, and improve security and governance across cloud environments. We'll also cover the problems teams face without an IDP, what a better developer experience looks like, how IDPs integrate with Landing Zone architectures, and how Platform, Security, FinOps, and Dev teams collaborate to build one.

With over 20 years of experience in automation, platform engineering, and developer enablement, he is a leader in cloud-native technology.
