ReversingLabs at WebCamp Zagreb 2017

ReversingLabs has established a tradition of attending WebCamp Zagreb, one of the biggest and most important tech conferences in Croatia. This year we didn't only attend, but we also sponsored the conference, and had an attractive presence in the form of our booth.

However, the most exciting part of WebCamp Zagreb 2017 for us was the presentation by one of our developers. Josip Domšić gave a talk titled "Cooking with large batches of object storage".

An information security expert, Josip is also a skilled cook who enjoys exploring the nature. Read more about Josip and his experience of WebCamp Zagreb 2017 in this short but sweet interview.

Although your talk was about technology, cooking was a very obvious theme in your presentation. Where does your passion for cooking originate from?

Josip: I'd say it all began when I was in high school; that's when I started experimenting with some recipes. My mother has been a great inspiration for me in this process. She has worked as a chef and a pâtissière for many years, so you could say that the passion for cooking runs in the family.

Your talk at this year's WebCamp offered some recipes for storing and managing large amounts of data. How did you decide on the topic, and what is the key takeaway from your talk that you wanted to get across?

Josip: When the WebCamp Zagreb Call for Proposals was announced, we at ReversingLabs found out that we would get one slot for a presentation at the conference. At that point, I was part of the Backend team. As a group, we chose five topics that were related to our work from the past couple of years. Then we voted on those topics, and my suggestion was one of the two that received the most votes.
