🔐 Kilpi — How to actually authorize your web applications - Jussi Nevavuori (GH: Jussinevavuori) - 30min
Jussi will be able to take us through his learnings on web authorization from his experiences building over a dozen applications - including the advent of a new tool "Kilpi". In this session, he will present how he solved some of the Auth challenges with Kilpi, and what considerations you should be thinking about when designing your authorization solution. The presentation will include simple demo of how to authorize an application with Kilpi, and of course Q&A :-)

⏱ Intermission - Networking / Food ~7:15pm - 25-30min

⚙️ Aspect Oriented Programming and Async Context Tracking - Patrick Yu (Linkedin: patrick-yu-software-alchemist) - 30min
This talk introduces the fundamentals of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) and explores how the `async_hooks` module in Node.js can be leveraged for asynchronous context tracking—paving the way for practical AOP use in backend systems.
Patrick will be covering some of the topics like:

• What is Aspect Oriented Programming, and where it fits in modern software architecture
• Common use cases for AOP in backend APIs, with a focus on cross-cutting concerns like logging and tracing
• What asynchronous context tracking is, and why it matters in JavaScript runtimes
• Live demo: Using the `async_hooks` module to build an async context-aware logger that cleanly separates logging concerns from business logic

⏱ Closing - Safe trip home folks!
