@Viam: Optimizing CI/CD && Component Design Systems && Prototyping Flutter apps

Viam will be hosting us this month.

Food, drink and door prizes will be provided!

Welcome to yet another great evening of learning and networking!

This event will be held both in person and online.

This month, we are partnering with the iOSoho Meetup for our first-ever co-organized Meetup! We chose topics that should resonate with all mobile engineers, and we hope they will be interesting to members of both groups.

Door Prizes!

First Talk Description:

Optimizing your CI/CD workflows and app publishing

Kevin Suhajda, Senior Solutions Engineer at Codemagic

Setting up a CI/CD isn't rocket science, but optimizing your workflows for the best results can be a challenge. In this talk Kevin will discuss some of the top tips he's come across working in the CI/CD space for the last 5 years. This will cover topics as installing custom software, memory issues, caching, DRY scripting, app store tricks, build versioning, and more.

Kevin has been working in the CI/CD space for over 5 years at Codemagic.io, previously as a mobile application developer. In his day-to-day, Kevin works with Codemagic customers to help them get started and debug issues. This often leads to trying new things and learning about all the ways your pipelines can fail, but also discovering new ways that they can be improved. In his free time he enjoys long walks, playing guitar and iOS code signing.

Second Talk Description:

Building Better iOS Apps: Component Design Systems

Michael Kolkov, iOS Engineer @ Naive Solution

In this talk, I'll share practical strategies for creating modular iOS components that aim to reduce a project’s tech debt in the long run. Learn how thinking beyond optimal code solutions to focus on reusability and maintainability can transform your development workflow. I'll demonstrate how separating UI components and business logic into dedicated libraries enables teams to build new features faster while maintaining consistency.

Michael is an indie iOS engineer specializing in user experience design with a passion for bringing enterprise-level development methodologies to independent developers. Experienced in creating various application types, from educational technology to consumer-facing apps

Third Talk Description:
• Prototyping Flutter apps in the Cloud: DartPad, Firebase Studio & Gemini
Vadym Pinchuk, GDE in Flutter & Dart
In this session, we’ll explore how to rapidly prototype Flutter applications using just a web browser — no local setup required. With the combined power of DartPad, the new Firebase Studio, and Gemini AI, you’ll learn how to turn ideas into working prototypes in minutes.
Whether you're experimenting, building proofs of concept, or just moving fast, this talk will show you how modern cloud tools and AI can streamline your development workflow and boost your productivity — from anywhere.
Vadym Pinchuk is a GDE in Flutter & Dart with 8+ years of Android experience and 4+ years in cross-platform development. He has delivered mobile solutions for brands like Samsung, Volvo, Instagram, and Sky.
Vadym regularly speaks at international conferences such as Droidcon, Fluttercon, and FlutterHeroes, and supports events as an MC and stage manager. Passionate about community and education, he mentors developers and actively contributes to the global Flutter ecosystem
