The Lost Art of IT Craftsmanship (And How to Revive IT)
Details
Copy, paste, replace. In our fast-paced industry, true craftsmanship feels like a lost art. We're pressured into mediocrity by constant deadlines and cognitive overload, rarely creating code we can truly be proud of.
But this art can be revived. This talk is a reflection on how we move beyond mediocrity, reclaim mastery, and find that deeper sense of pride in our work again.

Velizar Borisov, Atlassian Administrator
Boriana Todorova, Community Leader
I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience in quality assurance, process improvement, project delivery, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building high-performing teams, and bridging the gap between business goals and tech execution.
My mission is simple:
I help systems and people work better — starting with myself, and never stopping at “good enough.”
I thrive where complexity meets urgency — whether it's redesigning inefficient workflows, elevating engineering culture, or aligning delivery with long-term value. I bring a strong foundation in internal auditing practices, ensuring that systems are not only efficient but also aligned with key compliance and quality standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 — without losing sight of the human side of work.
I’ve also developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence — not just as a tool, but as a transformational force. I’m exploring how AI can enhance quality, automate the right parts of work, and help us build more adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both business and society responsibly.
I believe the future of tech depends not just on innovation, but on responsibility, empathy, and structure that serves both people and planet.
