Speaker:Alfredo Hernández Sánchez is a Marie Skłodowska Curie ERA Postdoctoral Fellow at Vilnius University, where he leads the FIRSA project on financial regulation and innovation in Europe. His work combines applied research, data analysis, and reproducible computational methods, with a strong interest in turning research outputs into accessible digital tools such as dashboards and interactive web applications. He works extensively with R, Quarto, and Shiny in academic and policy-oriented settings.

Description:  This workshop is designed for people who already know the basics of Shiny and want to build apps that are more robust, more reactive, and easier to maintain. We will look at practical reactive patterns, app structure, and some common choices that make Shiny dashboards easier to develop as they become more complex. In the second part of the workshop, I will show how a Shiny app can move from local development to a public deployment on Google Cloud Run, using a real dashboard project as an example. The session will give participants a practical introduction to a cloud-based workflow for publishing and maintaining Shiny applications in highly customizable environment. Basic familiarity with Shiny is assumed, and some previous experience building simple apps will help participants get the most out of the session.
