Speaker Bios
Aleh Matus is the founder and CEO of Modelus. He specializes in software design and business domain modeling and has extensive experience implementing cutting-edge technology solutions. Aleh is a Ph. D. candidate in the Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. His interests are focused on lean processes and innovation in a distributed development environment.
Jacob Mulholland has been designing and developing distributed systems since 2005. As Principal Consultant at Modelus, Jacob works with both small clients and large enterprises in all facets of developing technical and business solutions. An advocate and evangelist of domain-driven, test-driven, and object-oriented development methodologies, Jacob has proven these methods time and again in practice through the successful development of countless products and projects.
Recognizing an immense hole in the technical skill-set of the client-side development market, Jacob has forged an effort to bring the invaluable lessons of Design Patterns, DDD, TDD, and OO into the client-side UI/UX community. Through this OOUI effort Jacob is redefining the thought-process and methodologies of client-side development.
