Presentations

SCOTT PHILLIPS

WebGPU & the Future of Distributed Compute

How do you beat the RAM crisis AND save money? ...by using your customer's GPU on the edge!

SHORT DESCRIPTION:
After 8 years, WebGPU is now available in every browser. That means you can deploy Scientific Computing, workstation applications & high-end video editing & game console graphics — directly from your browser!

Arm Ambassador, Scott Phillips will walk you through this new high-performance compute paradigm while pointing out pitfalls & gotchas that he faced while developing a State-of-the-Art Physics Engine designed to mirror Nvidia's PhysX & Google's MuJoCo. All from the comfort of your favourite browser!

Thomas Ankcorn

Build your own clanker in 15 minutes

The era of intelligence is upon us but most of the world still kind of looks mostly the same.

I think this is because we are not unleashing our inner nerds enough. I want to inspire y'all to go away and build your own personal droid with some easy to replicate steps that can self build and do anything you want it to.

James Moss

Pixel-Perfect AI: Making Agents Respect Your Figma Designs

Letting AI generate your UI is fast and fun right up until you need it to implement something specific. Throw in strict design systems, your company's existing component library and responsive breakpoints, and the whole process usually falls apart. The good news is that there is a solution. We'll explore what works and what doesn't with agentic coding.

Nestor Lopez

Superpositioned Infraestructure and distributed Javascript

Serverless reduced operational burden, but it never truly removed infrastructure. This talk explores superpositioned infrastructure and how Module Federation turns distributed JavaScript into a runtime-defined system, where compute and code are decoupled and services can be composed dynamically instead of being pinned to a single deployment surface.

Robin Bender Ginn

Silicon Valley Is Optional. GitHub Is Not. How to commit your way into the AI boom and how OpenJS is shaping responsible AI in the open.

Silicon Valley is buzzing again. Dozens of nightly AI meetups, packed co-working spaces, and a lot of hype. But the real action isn’t in a postal code. It’s on GitHub.
This talk breaks down why JavaScript is powering the AI boom globally, and why you don’t need a Valley badge to be part of it. Just open an issue and commit.
AI-assisted development is becoming part of modern workflows. The goal isn’t to redefine open source. It’s to make sure that as tools evolve, accountability, transparency, and maintainership stay intact.

Pear: Hold my peer

Why can't technology companies avoid central points of failure? A casual chat about the clothes the emperor isn't wearing and an introduction to a real-world battle-tested anti-fragile approach to building and deploying applications: Pear.
