This talk covers a topic that's universal across any team, company and industry that deals with technology - Team Composition.

And with this talk, I bring relevant data and proven sources to the discussion to explain what the key concepts are, and why they matter so much on the outcomes delivered by any team who deals with software in any way.

During the talk, my main goals are to: - Explain the key concepts in an accessible and interesting way; - Use examples to demonstrate the concepts in practice; - Share valuable sources along the ride (books, studies, etc); - Finish with actionable points for both engineers and team leaders/managers/etc.

Throughout my 12 years tech career, I've worked on prod support, DevOps, and now leadership. I worked for companies like IBM, Luxoft, and now Pegasystems.

I lived and worked most of my life in South America, and now I'm living in Poland for some years.

These days, my focus is on Cloud, Observability, DevOps and mostly, leadership. I also hold a few certifications, including Kubernetes CKA, AWS, GCP, Scrum, and Pega Architecture.

When I'm not catching up with my Steam games backlog, I love participating in conferences, hackathons, learning new things and meeting new people.
