Accessibility First with Material Design
Accessibility is not just a “nice-to-have” .
It is essential for building products that truly serve everyone. Yet, many apps still fail to meet the needs of users with diverse abilities. Material Design makes accessibility easier by providing components, guidelines, and tools that are inclusive by default.
In this talk, we will explore how to design and build apps where accessibility comes first, from color contrast and touch targets to screen reader support and dynamic theming with Material You.
Through practical examples and real-world insights, you will learn how Material Design helps you avoid common pitfalls and create experiences that are usable, beautiful, and functional.
Whether you are a designer or developer, this session will help you build products that is accessible to everyone.
Modeling User Behaviour for Better Systems
Developers spend most of their time inside code editors, sprint boards, and architecture diagrams. Yet the systems we build are used by humans operating in messy, unpredictable, real-world environments. The gap between those two realities often shows up as misunderstood requirements, edge cases discovered too late, fragile UI logic, and features that technically work but fail to solve the real problem.
This talk explores a practical shift: how developers can better understand users without becoming UX designers or adding heavy processes to their workflow.
Drawing from real product development experience in production systems, we will examine where assumptions about users silently shape code decisions and how small observational habits can dramatically improve system quality, feature clarity, and maintainability.
Attendees will leave with concrete techniques to:
- Identify hidden assumptions in feature discussions
- Observe user behavior in ways that inform technical decisions
- Model frontend systems around real-world states rather than ideal flows
- Reduce rework caused by misunderstood human behavior
This session is aimed at mid-to-senior software developers working on real-world systems who want to build software that solves actual problems, not just passes QA.
Design-Driven Development: Principles, Challenges & Collaboration
I will talk about the relationship between design and development, the influence of design principles on front-end decisions, common challenges, collaboration opportunities, best practices, and concluding with a Q&A session. It communicates the focus on integrating design principles into front-end development processes while emphasizing collaboration and innovation.
