Alessandro Mautone

Tech Lead | Lead Android Engineer @Canyon

I started coding around the age of 18 and immediately fell in love with it. Since I was always passionate about mobile (first with Nokia and their Symbian and then with Android), it was natural for me to continue on that path. I started working in a small agency in South Italy where I had the opportunity to work on a lot of projects, then decided to expand my horizons and moved to Amsterdam where I joined WeTransfer on an incredible 5 years journey. After that, I decided to pursue an industry I have at heart: bikes! That's how I joined Canyon. Particular signs: I love sports in general, I am a regular runner and cyclist, and since love everything that flies I am a proud paraglider!

The DX Factor: From Developer Experience to Business Value

Building effective development teams hinges on prioritizing the developer experience. Poor tooling and inadequate support lead to cumbersome builds and inefficient workflows, creating friction that slows engineers and hinders their ability to deliver value. Join this peer discussion to share and discover practical strategies for boosting developer velocity and satisfaction. > How can we effectively measure the developer experience to pinpoint specific friction points that negatively impact team velocity and satisfaction? > What tools or strategies effectively boost knowledge transfer, reduce cognitive load, and accelerate onboarding? > What are your team's biggest DX pain points with builds, IDE, or CI, and what proven leadership tactics address them? > Where does your team experience the most friction day-to-day (e.g., with builds, IDEs, CI/CD, inefficient workflows)? What practical leadership tactics or tooling improvements have successfully addressed these pain points? > How can engineering leaders effectively quantify the impact of DX improvements on velocity, satisfaction, or overall value delivery to justify necessary investments to stakeholders?
