You can’t debug your Health with more code
This talk argues that developers often neglect their health while optimizing systems, despite relying on their bodies most. It examines how sedentary habits, poor sleep, stress, and constant connectivity undermine long-term performance, and why health is essential for focus, creativity, resilience, and sustainable engineering.

We spend our days monitoring systems, preventing failures, and debugging problems. Yet many of us ignore the one system we depend on the most: ourselves.
Long hours sitting, poor sleep, endless coffee, constant connectivity, and the belief that we'll take care of our health "after this sprint" have quietly become normal in our industry. But unlike software, some failures are much harder to rollback.
This talk explores what really happens when developers treat their bodies like side projects and why health is not a luxury. It's the foundation that supports our focus, performance, creativity, and ability to build for the long term.

Serial digital indiepreneur building internet products since 2012.
Former software engineer and IT consultant across private and public organizations.
Over the years, I've built and launched products across mobile, SaaS, Shopify, marketplaces, and the web. A few wins. A few exits. Plenty of failures. And lots of lessons learned.
A former footballer, I bring the same passion and resilience from the pitch into building products.
Part-time nomad and minimalist at heart, I enjoy working from wherever life takes me while keeping things simple.
I love sharing what I learn and giving back to the community. That's why I speak at tech conferences, join podcasts, and participate in community events.
