Intuit’s Post

If two heads are better than one, could you imagine having over 500 of some of the best software engineering minds in one place? Recently, JPMorgan Chase & Co. did just that at this year’s #DevUp Conference. Held at our Dallas Corporate Center in Plano, Texas, our second annual software engineering conference is created by engineers for engineers. I had the opportunity to be one of the sponsors and provide opening remarks. We had over 150 speakers discussing topics from AI/ML, modernization, cloud migration, emerging technologies, and more. I always appreciate how much excitement you can feel when technologists get together! Considering how dynamic technology is, we have to empower our folks to keep innovating and fostering learning opportunities like this. This year’s conference theme was Community. It’s only when everyone comes together for the same goals that we can advance. Throughout #DevUP, you could feel the energy in each presentation and workshop; we’re well on our way to achieving our goals. I left the conference with a renewed sense of pride, connections, and a bunch of notes from brainstorms we did to find new solutions that benefit the firm, technology teams, and our peers. Looking forward to next year's conference. 🔋 💙

Our engineers are kicking off Global Engineering Days (GED) this week to exchange ideas, partner across teams, learn new tech, solve long-pending tech debt or launch some cool ideas. We’re always willing to try new things and don't shy away from the possibility of failure. We have over 6000 technologists working on 2000+ projects and enjoying GED at 16 locations. Knowing that our GED innovations are launched into production brings a surge of excitement. https://lnkd.in/g8TTv7ET  I take pride in our engineers’ work and love to discuss some of their GED innovations. In-app experience for new experts: New hires (experts) are given a coupon to get their photo taken at stores and has to be high quality. Our engineers spontaneously developed an in-app experience, which automatically enhances their photos to look professional. This was done using open source ML in GED. The idea caught on and was pushed to production, saving significant hours when onboarding. Capture customer notes: Our engineers use GenAI to capture customer notes and action items during expert conversations for seamless outcomes.  Some teams have even experimented with innovation during earlier GEDs that has nothing to do with Intuit. They could be our starting point as we work towards playing better in new areas. As a leader, I also find myself partnering with teams, setting up stack, taking some time to code and even help teams with demos during this time. This kind of extreme cross-collaboration breaks down any silos between engineers, leaders, and teams. On the day of Gallery Walk, the energy in the room is super energizing. Almost palpable when teams present their ideas. I’d describe the level of enthusiasm as beyond incredible!

🌟 Embracing Change: Key to Innovation in Software Engineering 🌟 In the dynamic realm of software engineering, one thing remains constant: change. As a Software Engineer with a passion for innovation, I've come to see change not as a challenge, but as an opportunity for growth and creativity. Whether it's adapting to new technologies, refining coding practices, or fostering a culture of continuous improvement, embracing change is pivotal. It fuels our ability to innovate, delivering solutions that meet evolving user needs and industry demands. Reflecting on my journey at Phoenix Technologies and the Catholic Diocese of Chipata, I've learned that success often lies at the intersection of adaptation and innovation. Each project has taught me valuable lessons in resilience and the power of collaboration. Let's connect and discuss how we can navigate change together, driving meaningful impact through technology. #SoftwareEngineering #Innovation #Adaptability #TechTrends #ProfessionalDevelopment

The tech industry often struggles with a lack of diversity. This can lead to blind spots in innovation and a less user-friendly experience for a global audience. We believe the future of software engineering is global! By bringing together minds from all corners of the world, we can create software that reflects the richness of human experience and solves problems on a global scale. #globaldev #globaldevelopment #globaldevelopmentaldelayawareness #diversityintechnology #diversityintech #softwareengineeringjobs  

In today’s world we have limitless access to any specialist knowledge we can dream of. So what is the point of organizing summits and conferences? The purpose of these gatherings is increasingly shifting from knowledge aquistion to exchanging views and spending good time with people of similar interests. This observation played a big role in how we designed our Summit experience. The video below offers a glimpse into the spirit and energy of these incredible 2 days.

NewVision Software we help organisations 'Define the right product' and help 'Build the product right' and whilst we do that we help organisations scale at speed! with our strategic approach! #softwareproductengineering #producte gineering #digitalsolutions #innovation #Ai #Aiforproductdevelopment #sdlc #newvision

Stack Modernization: Bridging the Gap Between Platform Engineering and Product Development in Established Tech Organizations As someone working in a product role within an established tech SMB, where the tech stack has evolved and expanded over time, keeping pace with the latest advancements in programming languages and frameworks can be particularly challenging. The focus is often intensely on refining product features and enhancing user experience, making it difficult to also prioritize technological modernization. This is where the invaluable role of platform engineering teams comes to the forefront, laying a robust foundation for product teams by managing essential infrastructure, such as Kubernetes environments or custom operating systems, and providing tools for continuous integration and delivery, as well as telemetry backends for observability. To put this into perspective, consider the automotive industry: The platform engineering team is like the group responsible for developing the chassis and engine technologies—foundational components that various car models can be built upon. This allows product teams, akin to car designers and engineers focusing on specific models, to concentrate on design, features, and user experience, leveraging the base provided without needing to delve into foundational technology for each new model. Yet, the task of updating or replacing foundational technology is fraught with challenges. Similar to automotive, in the realm of software, these upgrades demand concerted effort from both platform and product teams, and convincing stakeholders of the indirect benefits, which may take time to manifest, is no small feat. From my experience, successful stack modernization within established software SMB relies on: 🛠️ Proactive Effort from Platform Teams: Making it easier for product teams to transition, akin to ensuring new chassis technology is compatible with existing car designs. 🔄 Phased Integration: Overhauling a car design while integrating new engine technology is overwhelming; similarly, a "lift and shift" approach in software, followed by gradual refactoring, is more business-friendly. 💡Collaborative Learning: Product teams, like car designers, should seize opportunities to learn about advancements from platform engineering, enhancing synergy and innovation. I'm keen to hear your thoughts and experiences on stack modernization and the collaboration between these two pivotal teams. A huge shoutout to my incredible team members and platform peers at Open Systems for their relentless dedication and innovation. Your hard work and collaborative spirit are the driving forces behind our success. 🙌 #StackModernization #PlatformEngineering #ProductDevelopment #TechInnovation #SoftwareEngineering #OpenSystems
