A software engineer at Box with a passion for holistic system design and clean interfaces — from code to UX. With experience across different technology stacks, I've learned that the most fascinating part of software engineering is observing how technical decisions ripple through both business outcomes and engineering workflows over time. I'm also deeply interested in the symbiosis of technology, creativity, and art — exploring how they can amplify each other to create meaningful and inspiring experiences.
The exponential growth of AI tools has already changed the way people create music and experiment with sound. Professional musicians, composers and regular people already use these tools to express themselves. And how about programmers? Can we bring coding and engineering directly into the creative process with AI as our programming partner? This talk dives into algorithmic composition and sound design where LLMs generate live audio synthesis code, giving you direct control over how sound works at the fundamental level. We'll explore the power of programmatic music creation with LLMs and discover how this approach opens up endless experimentation possibilities and transforms live performance from playing pre-made tracks to creating entirely new sonic experiences on stage.
You know something's wrong. You feel like web apps shouldn't be this slow in 2025. You think you don't have a choice – but you do. Take the Red Pill and journey into a world where browser DevTools reveal hidden truths and ECMA specs whisper optimization secrets. Together we'll see through surface-level illusions and understand what's really happening when your JavaScript runs. And don't worry about Agent Smith – AI is on our side this time.
