Raphael Romero Ruiz

Raphael Romero Ruiz

Raphael Romero Ruiz is a graduate student and journalist from Tucson, Arizona. He recently covered the border beat for The Arizona Republic, reporting on the 2024 presidential election, the first 100 days and beyond of President Donald Trump’s second administration, and how U.S.-Mexico border communities have been impacted by American immigration policy.

Prior to that, Ruiz began his journalism career shortly before graduating from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, earning a B.A. in Journalism with minors in Transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies and Digital Audiences.

For nearly five years, he focused his reporting on working-class Latine communities in metro Phoenix, spotlighting community activists, artists and everyday people shaping local culture. His journalism emphasizes the power of storytelling to uplift underrepresented communities like his own — the Rose neighborhood on Tucson’s southside.

He is excited to study data journalism to strengthen his reporting on immigration at a time when harmful narratives and disinformation heavily influence federal immigration policies. He aims to make complex and obscure data accessible to communities like his own, especially people like his parents — proud Mexican immigrants.

Arnaud Thorel

Arnaud Thorel

12 ans d’architecture logicielle, 25 ans de code passionné, et quelques centaines de milliers de lignes de code plus tard…

Arnaud en a vu des belles, des monolithes de 3 millions de lignes, les microservices qui deviennent des nano services, des projets multiformes avec tous les buzzWord, et les configurations Spring Boot copiées-collées dans + de 50 projets.

Aujourd’hui architecte chez Ouest-France, après plusieurs années à conseiller en ESN, il a une mission : standardiser, simplifier et éviter les migraines aux développeurs.

Dans son parcours, il a joué avec :

Les microservices – Avant que ça devienne un buzzword incontournable.
L’IoT – Quand connecter et piloter des objets connectés depuis son smartphone relevait encore du défi technique.
L’API Management – Parce qu’avoir 50 micro services sans les exposer proprement, c’est juste du chaos.

Aujourd’hui, il vous raconte comment il a mis fin au copier-coller en créant des Starters Spring Boot sur mesure. Une approche qui accélère les développements, impose des bonnes pratiques sans douleur, et évite bien des incompréhensions dans la construction de ses projets.

Si vous aussi, vous voulez industrialiser vos projets sans sacrifier votre santé mentale, cette session est faite pour vous ! 🎤🔥

Artisane du logiciel dans l’âme, Daria est convaincue que la qualité et la sécurité ne s’ajoutent pas à la fin, mais relèvent d’un soin quotidien, du premier design jusqu’à la ligne de code la plus simple.
