I'm CMO at Ibou, where we're building a French search engine with our own crawler and our own index. No rented infrastructure, no Google under the hood. I get to watch, from the inside, what actually happens when you try to index the web yourself.

Before that, fifteen years in e-commerce: I cofounded Ocarat.com and ran its marketing from 2011 to 2026, taking it from zero to €20M and more than 500,000 organic visits a month. I've been on the web since 2002, long enough to have optimised sites for engines that no longer exist.

I speak about search, AI and the economics of online visibility : what changes for publishers when assistants answer instead of linking, what it really costs to build an index, and why the clickbait economy was a design choice rather than an accident.

Around forty talks since 2021, mostly in France. I don't do keynotes about the future of anything. I bring numbers, mistakes, and things I've
actually shipped.

Dmytro is a Senior Cloud Operations Engineer at Sage Austria and an AWS Community Builder based in Vienna, Austria. He co-leads AWS User Group Vienna alongside AWS Hero Linda Mohamed, helping grow one of Central Europe's most active cloud communities.
Before Sage, Dima built his cloud foundation at APA-IT — the technology arm of the Austrian Press Agency — where he architected cloud infrastructure for Austria's national broadcaster ORF and developed media workflow systems where latency and reliability are not negotiable. That background in broadcast-grade infrastructure shaped how he thinks about every system he touches today.
By day, Dima manages complex enterprise infrastructure — AWS migrations, Cloudflare security at scale, Progress OpenEdge systems, and production environments where a wrong config means a very bad morning for a lot of people. He's the engineer who gets paged at 2 AM when 1.6 million requests hit in a single day, and who turns those incidents into architecture lessons worth sharing.
His talks bridge the gap between deep technical depth and real-world pragmatism: no theoretical slides, no happy-path demos. If he's on stage, there's a production story behind it, numbers to back it up, and something the audience can implement on Monday.
Outside of infrastructure fires, Dima is a photographer who built a serverless AWS pipeline to process over 8,000 community event photos in a single conference season — because if you're going to automate something, it might as well be something you love.
Dima speaks at AWS Community Days across Europe — Vienna, Prague, Budapest — and has presented at events as far as Abu Dhabi. He's been recognized as Rookie of the Year at Sage and brings the same energy to the community that he brings to an incident bridge call: calm, direct, and focused on what actually works.
