A behind-the-scenes look at the large-scale refactoring of TalentLMS, a learning management platform with deep roots and tight constraints.

This talk covers how we tackled deeply embedded technical debt while keeping the system live and teams shipping. It walks through the architectural shifts we made, from monolith to modulith, and the cultural shifts that made those changes possible.

Alongside code, we had to refactor trust, habits, and communication. Equal parts technical and human, this is a story about moving forward without breaking what still works.
