After obtaining a masters degree in Political Sciences, Peter Morlion decided to become a software developer instead. He received his bachelor degree in Software Development in 2008, but already found a job as a developer in 2007.

Since then, Peter worked with a wide range of programming languages like VB.NET, C#, JavaScript (front-end and back-end), TypeScript (front-end and back-end), Python, PHP and Java.

As software development consultant since 2015, Peter has been helping organizations reduce their technical debt and increase the stability of the systems. He has done so in different architectures (monolith, SOA, microservices, serverless), always focusing on the quality of the system.

Next to his professional work, Peter organizes a local developer’s meetup group and is active in the parent teacher association of his daughter’s school and the local sea scouts group.

Help, I Inherited Legacy Code!

So you found yourself having to work in a piece of legacy code. Maybe you wrote it yourself, maybe a former colleague. Maybe nobody really knows. But don't panic. Legacy code can be rewarding and fun. But for it to be so, we need to improve it. And it makes both sense business-wise as well as for your own sanity. Because in your career, you will most likely be working on code that you'll consider legacy code. In this talk, I will explain some techniques and approaches to improve legacy code that have proven successful in my experience.

Technical Debt for Management

In this talk, I explain what technical debt is, why it's a problem, what the causes are and how to manage and reduce technical debt. Armed with scientific studies and some real-life, I explore the effects of technical debt on companies and how they can get out of the vicious cycle that technical debt is.

This talk is targeted at anyone in software development wanting to understand technical debt. It's not a deep technical talk, but developers may find it useful so they can better talk with management. Conversely, manager can learn what their developers are talking about or why they are struggling to deliver.
