Mary Koutsikou

Title: Ngineered for Success: Custom Scaffolding with Angular

Desc: Facing the challenge of endless refactoring of older projects juxtaposed with the creation of new applications with the most recent technologies and hindered by the ominous specter of developer turnover. The solution? A Customizable Angular Template Application — a reusable, future-proof foundation that simplifies project set-up, speeds up development, keeps deployments stress-free, and us developers (relatively) sane. Built with up-to-date Angular tech, this template is the Swiss Army knife of app development. Beware: you may leave with a newfound appreciation for reusable components!

**Bio:**Mary wrote her first line of code at age 13, thus beginning her lifelong romance with all things tech. After an extended "research holiday" in academia (where she coded in C so intensely that she still wakes up in a cold sweat, muttering about memory leaks), she decided it was time to broaden her horizons. She ventured into a variety of IT roles before returning to her true passion of coding. Today she is a Full Stack Developer at Scorpio Group, happily part of a team building and maintaining applications dedicated to technical & commercial management. When she's not solving bugs or crafting features, she’s probably geeking out over a new tech trend, planning her next vegan meal, or proving that learning never goes out of style.

Lena Lekkou

Title: The Ideal Collaboration

Desc: Σε ποιο στάδιο βρίσκεται η συνεργασία μεταξύ designers και developers; Πόσο έχουν βοηθήσει τα εργαλεία όπως το Figma, και ποια η επίδρασή τους στη μεθοδολογία μας; Έχουμε φτάσει στο απόγειο ή υπάρχουν ακόμη περιθώρια βελτίωσης και από τις δύο πλευρές; Ως developers / engineers, έχετε ανακαλύψει τα τελευταία “καλούδια” του Figma, όπως το Dev Mode και το Code Connect;

Bio: Multidisciplinary Designer, Head of Web Department at SAE Athens, Podcast host of the show “Life of Dev”, Active volunteer in local tech communities

Title: Angular Dependency Injection: Modifiers in a Flash!

Desc: Unlock the power of Angular's Dependency Injection! In this quick talk, we’ll explore how injectors and resolution modifiers like @Self(), @SkipSelf(), @Optional(), and @Host() help you control service access in any component structure.

Bio: Introducing Sergio, a frontend developer at Agile Actors who enjoys video games, anime, Vue, and Angular. Sergio is passionate about remaining on the cutting edge and is always learning new things to share with the developer community.
