What happens when you swap solution diagrams for commit logs, and trade architecture reviews for pull requests?

In this session, I’ll share my personal journey of moving from the role of Solution Architect back into the trenches as a Software Engineer. You’ll hear about the surprises (yes, resolving the incident felt foreign at first!), the challenges of shifting mindsets, and the refreshing joys of building again - line by line.

Whether you’re an architect wondering what life looks like on the other side, or an engineer curious about career pivots, you’ll walk away with practical insights, lessons learned, and maybe even a nudge to try a bold change yourself.

Join me to explore why sometimes the best way forward is taking a step back.
