@Laracon AU

Michael Dyrynda is a Principal Engineer at LMG Asset Finance based in Adelaide, South Australia.

With more than two decades of experience building software, he has spent the last decade working extensively with Laravel across a range of products, teams, and industries. He is also the organiser of Laracon Australia and co-host of the Laravel News Podcast.

Away from the keyboard, Michael spends most of his time with his family and enjoys running, staying active, and occasionally discovering the limits of what his knees are willing to tolerate.

Talk Category: Community

Retool. Adapt. Evolve.

The way we build software keeps changing. Tools are getting faster, systems are growing more complex, and developers are being asked to make good decisions across more layers of the stack than ever before.

This opening welcome sets the tone for Laracon AU 2026 and its theme of dev.olution: Retool. Adapt. Evolve. It frames this year as a connected conversation about craft, judgement, and change, and invites attendees to listen for the assumptions being challenged underneath each talk.
