đ Meet the Speaker: Sohaib Alqasem
Weâre excited to welcome Sohaib Alqasem, Senior Backend Engineer at Beyond Limits, to DevFest Amman 2025! With a strong focus on scalable systems and reliable engineering, Sohaib helps teams optimize the right wayâby building first and improving based on evidence, not assumptions.
đ¤ Session: The Optimization Trap: When Performance Backfires
đ Track: Web / Web Performance
đŁď¸ Language: EN
In this talk, Sohaib breaks down the real cost of premature optimization in modern web development. Using practical React and web examples, youâll learn how to profile effectively, differentiate small tweaks from meaningful architectural decisions, and optimize based on real dataâafter measuring what actually matters.
Expect a clear mindset shift and a simple mental model you can apply immediately: build first, measure, then optimize only when it delivers real impact.
⨠If you want faster, healthier delivery and better performance decisions, this session is one you wonât want to miss.
