Presented by Okta

Most students know how to write code, but what happens after you hit "push"?

This session pulls back the curtain on how major tech companies move code from a developer's laptop to millions of users. Explore the basics of CI/CD pipelines, the "engine room" of software development. You'll learn how automated tools help engineers deliver changes, fix bugs, and patch systems quickly and safely. If you've ever wondered how big teams manage software without everything breaking, this talk is for you!

Speaker: Kajal Mathur is a Senior Software Engineer at Okta on the Platform Engineering team. With extensive experience in application programming and developing specialized automation tools across multiple coding languages, she now focuses on building the infrastructure that allows other engineering teams to deliver changes and fixes with ease.
