As a Chief Technology Officer at Meedio, I lead the development processes and the strategic adoption of new technologies, with a particular focus on the Matrix protocol and end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) video communication solutions. I have been with Meedio for over six years, initially joining as a Lead Backend Developer, then advancing to Head of Development, and eventually becoming CTO. In the leadership role, I have been instrumental in building new teams, driving technological direction, and delivering tailored, high-security communication solutions for strategic clients. I also oversee compliance and certification processes, including the implementation of GDPR.
Before joining Meedio, I had worked in the fintech sector on projects aimed at centralizing multi-bank access for users, enabling consolidated asset management across financial institutions. In recent years, my primary focus has been on secure, encrypted video communication in regulated sectors, particularly IT healthcare, where data security and governance play a critical role.

This talk will focus on real-world use cases, showcase features built for public-sector customers, explore viable business models, and share hard-earned lessons from bringing Matrix to market.
