He has worked in various roles including front-end development, product management, consulting, research (in Human-Computer Interaction), and teaching. He also organises the monthly TED-Style Talks and, if he has any free time left, enjoys some photography, badminton, and squash.

Svelte 5, Tailwind, et al. — Is it the next big thing?
Hot & New Breakout Session

According to surveys, Svelte is one of the most-liked JavaScript frameworks out there. The uptake in the industry has been slow, yet steady. It is an open and community-driven project, built on some strong principles of:

- Simplicity
- Efficiency
- Compiler-framework, as opposed to library framework
- Good DevEx

Our team successfully delivered a new front-end web app built with Svelte 5, Tailwind, and Typescript using an MVVM architecture with good test coverage. The session introduces these (and more) tech choices in creating a lean workflow and achieving good DevEx. An unintended bonus from these tech choices was the compounding benefit of using AI-assistance.

Session includes some code samples, lessons learned, and lots of interactivity (so bring along all your questions.)
