Dov Katz

When you have billions of lines of code and thousands of software repositories, code maintenance and modernization can be challenging. In his keynote, Dov Katz will cover how Morgan Stanley is saving tens of thousands of development hours on just one migration with the help of OpenRewrite recipes and Moderne, enabling largescale code changes, and paving the way for faster feature delivery, improved security compliance, and a more sustainable development lifecycle.

Attendees will gain insights into the strategic planning, implementation process, and realworld challenges tackled during this journey. Leave with actionable strategies to unlock efficiencies and alleviate tech debt within your organizations.

Join a panel of trailblazing engineering leaders who are shaping how the industry thinks about scaling software development. From navigating technical debt to responsibly integrating generative AI, this conversation will cover the hard-won lessons and emerging strategies for managing massive codebases.

We’ll dive into:

• Impact of developer time spent on code refactoring.
• The influence of generative AI code creation on automated code refactoring.
• Techniques for ensuring genAI authored code is high quality, maintainable, and secure—and proving it meets standards.
• Organizational challenges of managing large-scale code changes, including PR overload, developer trust, and risk mitigation.
• Measuring the impact of technical debt across large software organizations and driving leadership action.
• Risk assessment and mitigation strategies when rolling out changes that affect thousands of developers.
• The role of auto-refactoring in developer portals and real-world use cases for integration.
• Challenges and lessons learned from using generative AI for testing and dead code removal at scale.

Come with questions—this panel is built to spark insight and honest discussion.
