[Virtual] KEYNOTE (Leadership): Stealth Startup -- Rapid Decisions, Rapid Deployment: Transforming Delivery Through Empowerment

Wednesday June 4, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PDT

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek Leadership Main Stage

Vilas Veeraraghavan, Stealth startup, Technical Leader

Platform teams tend to start out being lean but tend to slowly lose agility as they grow and expand their scope. This typically results in delayed rollouts of tools and other enablement needs that Dev teams have. However, these delays in decision making in critical tooling development within DevEx or Platform teams results in developer frustration and slows down delivery to the end customer (which impacts revenue). In my past life as a leader of Dev Platforms, I have experienced this and developed some techniques to prevent this slowdown over time. I have seen how distributing the decision making using engineering rigor allows DevEx/Platform teams to empower themselves and drive outcomes. In this talk, I will share the framework I have honed over years of leadership at Comcast, Netflix, Walmart and Bill with the audience. The framework relies on 4 key pillars - Always lead with data/reasoning, Know the business needs, Own and invest in your decisions, Empathize with the developer.

This talk will equip engineering leaders with a tool to create effective delivery enablement within their engineering organizations.

[Virtual] PRO Session: Responsibly Advancing AI in Clinical Trials

Wednesday June 4, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

VIRTUAL AI DevSummit Main Stage

Nalini Garg, Deloitte, Senior Manager

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly transforms the landscape of clinical trials, the need for responsible implementation has never been more critical. This session will explore how AI can be harnessed to enhance clinical trial design, patient recruitment, data analysis, and outcome prediction, while ensuring ethical considerations are front and center.

We'll delve into the potential of AI to streamline trial processes, reduce costs, and accelerate the development of new therapies. However, with great power comes great responsibility. We'll discuss the challenges of bias, data privacy, transparency, and regulatory compliance, and how to address them to build trust in AI-driven methodologies.

Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between innovation and ethics, and discover best practices for integrating AI into clinical trials in a way that enhances accuracy, efficiency, and fairness. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or industry professional, this session will provide valuable insights into the responsible advancement of AI in clinical trials, ensuring that technological progress benefits both science and society.
