From Android to Full-Stack: A Developer's Journey to the Great Unknown

Session Description:

For over ten years, I lived and breathed Android. I knew the ecosystem inside out. Then, I decided to hit the reset button and become a full-stack developer. A scary moment, what was I thinking? This session is the story of that transition, one that is still ongoing. I'll take you through the highs of discovering new technologies and the lows of feeling like a beginner all over again. I'll share the eye-opening "aha!" moments, the skills that transfer, and the ones that don't, the frustrating "WTFs," and the practical lessons learned along the way. I'll also demonstrate how knowledge of Modern Android Development is a competitive advantage in the broader software landscape. It's not a journey away from Android, but a return with a renewed perspective.
