SUMMARY:PayCLT: Matt Miller\, EWS VP of Paze - How will bank digital wallets win?
DESCRIPTION:Matt Miller\, VP of EWS’s Paze product\, comes to PayCLT to discuss the vision and path forward for bank’s digital wallets\n\n\nPayCLT is excited to welcome Matt Miller\, EWS’s VP of the Paze digital wallet product\, to discuss the way forward for financial institutions to provide meaningful digital wallet customer experiences.  \nOnline checkout has been a sticking point in the ecommerce engine for years\, and while merchant accounts with cards on file are a good alternate to keying in card details\, customers generally aren’t willing to create accounts at every merchant they use. Various non-FI digital wallet solutions have been created to ease the this customer pain point\, but according to a 2022 study by Capterra\, 43% of customers still prefer to use guest checkout. Surveys also continue to show customers trust their financial institution\, so leveraging a financial instution-sponsored digital wallet tool could likely provide a useful marketplace tool to cautious consumers.  \nMatt Miller is a seasoned innovator and accomplished leader in payments product management\, currently holding the position of Vice President of Product for PazeSM. In this role\, he oversees the strategic trajectory\, development\, and growth of PazeSM\, a new digital payment method offered by banks and credit unions.

SUMMARY:Escaping dependency hell: deep dive into Gradle's dependency management features
DESCRIPTION:**Escaping dependency hell: a deep dive into Gradle’s dependency management features** \nHave you been in the situation where your project builds as expected but a few hours later it won’t anymore? Does this include symptoms such as ClassNotFoundError or NoSuchMethodError exceptions? Well\, you are not alone\, you probably are or have been in ‘Dependency Hell’ and believe me\, we all have been there.\nIt doesn’t matter if you are about to start a green field project or touching an existing one\, most likely you will suffer from this at some point in your career. Unfortunately\, compilation issues are not the only symptoms of being in ‘Dependency Hell’\, another problems are (and not limited to):\n– Intentional and unintentional Breaking API changes in libraries\n– Multiple components depending on the same module but with different\, incompatible\, APIs.\n– Multiple libraries providing the same feature (multiple logging libraries).\n– Incompatible versions of a runtime.\n– Misaligned dependencies of a component\n– Depending on transitive dependencies that eventually disappear from our projects\nThis list can be extensive and overwhelming! As a developer I just want my build to work! \nFortunately\, Gradle Build Tool Team has heavily invested engineering efforts for many years in their Dependency Management machinery to address these issues from both sides\, the consumer of modules but more importantly\, better software modeling for library producers.\nIn this session we will navigate\, as library consumers\, how we can influence the dependency resolution machinery in Gradle to keep your build in good state and reproducible. In addition\, we will explore a few Gradle features to do better software modeling in order to publish good metadata that benefits consumers of our libraries. Spoiler alert: we will also look into how to address the Jakarta migration without fixing upstream libraries!\nSome familiarity with Gradle is recommended but not required. \n**About our speaker**\nRoberto is an experienced software engineer with focus in the JVM ecosystem and developer productivity He has several years of experience using technologies for the JVM.\nHe’s an active maintainer of [Netflix Nebula Plugins](https://nebula-plugins.github.io) and occasional contributor to the [Gradle Build tool](https://gradle.org)\nCurrently works at Netflix in the JVM ecosystem team. The JVM Ecosystem Team provides the user experience for JDK lifecycle\, dependency management\, building\, packaging\, and publishing JVM-based libraries and applications through providing tools\, automation\, and guidance to thousands of engineers at Netflix \n**Agenda**\n5:30pm – 6:00pm: Networking\, food and drinks\n6:00pm – 7:00pm: Talk session\n7:00pm – 7:30pm: More networking \n**Parking**\nThere are 2 entrances for The Railyard parking deck – 1 on Bland Street and 1 on Winona Street\nWhen you arrive\, pull a ticket and go through the gate to park. \n**Our Space**\nOnce you park\, please take the stairs or elevator down to the 1st floor.\nCome in through the lobby and take the elevator banks on the South Tower to the 6th floor.\nThe South Tower elevators are located on the STIR side of The RailYard\, opposed to the side with North Italia and Rhino Market & Deli\nWhen you arrive on the 6th floor\, it will take you straight to our reception area.\nIf there is no one to assist you\, please ring the Amazon doorbell located on the reception desk.
