Vlad Khononov
Founding Engineer at nekuda
Vladik (Vlad) Khononov is a software engineer with over 15 years of industry experience, during which he has worked for companies large and small in roles ranging from webmaster to chief architect. Vlad is a long-time proponent of domain-driven design and evolutionary architecture and currently helps companies make sense of their business domains, untangle monoliths, and tackle complex architectural challenges.
Vlad maintains an active media career as a public speaker and blogger. He has spoken at numerous industry conferences — including O’Reilly Software Architecture, DDD Europe, and NDC — about subjects such as domain-driven design, microservices, and software architecture in general. In addition to his media work, he co-organizes the Domain-Driven Design Israel and Tel Aviv Software Architecture meetup groups.

Practical Modular Design for You and Your Robot
Modularity has been software design's holy grail since the 1960s ...and we've been failing at it for just as long: OOP, design patterns, architectural styles, SOA, microservices. None of them delivered on the promise, and some quietly made things worse.
AI-assisted engineering just raised the stakes. Your codebase isn't only what your team reads anymore; it's the context your coding agent loads on every task. Good modularity multiplies your team's velocity and your agent's accuracy. Bad modularity multiplies the pain, for humans and robots alike.
Modular design is a strategic investment of the AI era.
Join this talk to learn why decades of modularity efforts have fallen short, and to take home a practical design model for evaluating, fixing, and finally taming the modularity of your own codebase. Your robot friends will thank you.
