Read This Before You Get Your TIC Ticket
Dear Tech Builders,
This one’s for you — a free ticket might be yours! See the end for details ;)
Today we’re highlighting three new deep tech talks from engineers at Airbnb, Dropbox, and Tektit Consulting. No buzzwords — just real systems, real challenges, and how they were solved.
Curious about the “how”?
Join us May 26 at Tech Internals Conf in Berlin and let’s dive in!
Meet our speakers
Lara Mossler (Head of Security Platform & Products at Airbnb)
From Hackathon to Production: Building an AI-Powered Security Development Platform
AI in security isn’t just a buzzword — it’s an engineering tool. At Airbnb, a hackathon prototype became a production-grade platform that transformed how developers build secure code. This talk unpacks the technical architecture, ML pipeline, and integration strategies used to bring AI into dev workflows. You’ll get a close look at the key decisions that helped the team move from proof-of-concept to a platform that actually improves developer velocity and security outcomes — backed by real metrics.
Schlomo Schapiro (Principal Engineer at Tektit Consulting)
Cloud & Offline Secrets Management
What happens when your secrets are locked in the cloud — and the cloud goes dark? This talk presents a practical, open-source-first approach to managing secrets across operational environments, including full backup and disaster recovery. Using SOPS as the core tool, Schlomo shows how to maintain control over critical infrastructure secrets even in offline scenarios. This is essential viewing for DevOps and platform engineers who want more than just “cloud-native” reassurance.
Alok Ranjan (Software Engineering Manager at Dropbox)
Scaling Efficiently to Exabytes: Securing and Accelerating Cloud Storage
Dropbox handles exabytes of data — and it needs to stay fast, secure, and reliable at that scale. This session dives into how their storage infrastructure works under the hood. You’ll learn about multi-level encryption models, performance-optimized access layers, and the design of “stores” that allow for efficient file sharing without overwhelming the system. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how one of the world’s biggest storage platforms balances speed, safety, and scale.
