Stephane Di Cesare

Senior Platform Engineer, SOP Experience DKB | Deutsche Kreditbank AG

CONFERENCE DAY ONE

4:00 PM Presentation: Platform as a Product – Delivering Real Value to Developers at DKB

Treating the platform as a product is more than a mindset shift - it’s a practical approach to making platforms genuinely useful for developers. Standardising tooling alone isn’t enough. Adoption comes from solving real pain points, simplifying workflows, and treating internal teams like customers. This session explores how product thinking at DKB transforms internal platforms into high-impact tools that developers actively want to use.

How to work with platform scope and strategy and how to make them visible for users.
How to optimize working with product discovery and feedback.
The importance of the user interface and user experience of the platform.
Metrics and other ways to evaluate the impact of the platform.

CONFERENCE DAY TWO

2:30 PM Presentation: Beyond Uptime: Redesigning Infrastructure Teams Around Product Thinking, Usability and AI Driven Change

Infrastructure teams were traditionally measured on reliability but as developers become their customers and AI reshapes expectations, teams need a radical shift in how they design, deliver and evolve platforms. In this session, Stéphane Di Cesare, with a decade of expertise, unpacks what it really takes to transform an infrastructure function into DKG, a product driven organisation and one that prioritises usability, tackles documentation debt head on and adapts to AI cost pressures.

• Rebuilding infrastructure delivery around product grade discovery practices shadowing engineers, running surveys, validating pain points and eliminating friction at the source

• Taming documentation chaos through structured information architecture and ownership models that give developers clarity without relying on tribal knowledge

• Strategising AI adoption inside infrastructure teams, balancing cost, performance and organisational readiness as developers adopt AI faster than infra can support
