Workshop Title:

Moving Money Without Losing Your Mind: A Temporal Workshop for Fintechs

Time:

Tuesday - 10:30 AM (Tower A)

Abstract:

Building distributed systems is hard. Building distributed systems that move actual money is terrifying. If you’ve ever lost sleep over double-charges, dropped transactions, or trying to manually unpick a failed payment saga, this workshop is for you.

We’re going to get hands-on with Temporal, an open source durable workflow platform. We are going to tackle the specific nightmares fintech devs face. I’ll walk you through building a fault-tolerant payment flow, handling complex retries without double-booking, and ensuring your ledger stays perfectly consistent even when the downstream banking API inevitably times out. Bring your laptop. We’re going to build a payment orchestrator that actually lets you sleep on a Friday night.

Bio:

Aaron Junod is Chief Product Officer of Mesh at Trabian, where he leads the team building a next-generation, AI-native platform for financial services integration. He has spent more than twenty years building SaaS fintechs, serving in both technology and product leadership roles, and has helped financial institutions push the boundaries of what software can do for their customers and operations.

Before Trabian, Aaron served as CTO at ZSuite Technologies, where he grew the engineering organization from fewer than ten to nearly thirty and played a central role in shaping the product that the company brought to market. Earlier in his career, he was VP of Product at Geezeo through the company’s acquisition.

Despite the executive title, Aaron still spends his weekends in a terminal. He returns to fintech_devcon to dig into the practical side of fintech engineering — distributed systems, payment infrastructure, and the unglamorous work of keeping ledgers consistent against all odds.
