An engineer at heart and a leader by practice, I bring 17 years of experience in building robust enterprise solutions. As an Application Development Leader at BlackRock, I focus on designing and delivering scalable systems that drive real business impact. Java has always been my strongest language, and I’m equally passionate about exploring new and emerging technologies, especially the world of AI.
Beyond my role, I nurture my passion for community building by leading the Java SIG at Atlanta BlackRock, where I connect developers, ideas, and innovation.
Prior to BlackRock, I worked as a consultant with GAP, Pearson, JP Morgan, and SiriusXM, and I began my career as a full-stack developer, giving me a holistic view across the technology stack.
I believe technology is as much about people as it is about code. As a mother, wife, and lifelong learner, I draw inspiration from music, travel, and dance, blending creativity into everything I do.

Cache Smarter, Not Harder: A Practical Guide to Choosing the Best Caching Strategy
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring application performance at scale requires efficient caching solutions. How can developers reduce latency, alleviate database load, and make the right architectural decisions to ensure scalability and cost-effectiveness? This talk offers a comprehensive overview of modern caching mechanisms, including in-memory, distributed, and hybrid solutions, with key technologies such as Redis, Memcached, Apache Ignite, and CDNs.
Participants will explore the fundamental principles behind these technologies and learn to navigate the trade-offs in scalability, data consistency, and performance. Through real-world use cases like session management, distributed data processing, and big data applications, this session provides actionable insights on how to select and integrate the most suitable caching mechanism for specific application demands.
By the end, attendees will walk away with a clear framework for evaluating caching solutions and practical strategies to optimize their architecture for high performance and scalability.
What is Looming in Java
In the evolving landscape of software development, Java continues to be a stalwart choice for building reliable, scalable, and performant applications. The language and its ecosystem have evolved, incorporating modern paradigms and tools that cater specifically to the needs of high-scale applications. In JDK 21, java released Virtual Thread, which is known as Project Loom.
Project Loom introduces lightweight and efficient virtual threads called fibers, massively increasing resource efficiency while preserving the same simple thread abstraction for developers. In this talk we will introduce how Fibers can reduce the effort of developing and managing high throughput applications. We’ll take a quick peak at asynchronous coding styles, and then look at how Loom fits in today’s Java applications.
