The Andreessen Horowitz React.js Holiday Party
You're cordially invited to attend the 2022 Andreessen Horowitz React.js Holiday Party! This is a special evening of fun conversations, reflections, sponsor exhibits, live jazz music, dinner & drinks, and 2 special presentations from some very inspiring guests:
Tom Occhino is a former Facebook Engineering Director who helped create React and React Native. After joining the company as a software engineer in 2009 he helped develop user-facing products, core front-end infrastructure, and Facebook's open source program. As an engineering manager and director he was responsible for the JavaScript infrastructure, React, and Web Core orgs, and most recently led a ground up rewrite of facebook.com before leaving the company in 2021.
Max Stoiber is the co-founder of Stellate, the GraphQL CDN formerly known as GraphCDN. About 1% of all public, crawlable websites use an open source tool he invented: styled-components. He also made Bedrock, the premium full-stack SaaS boilerplate. Previously, he worked on JavaScript tooling at Gatsby and architected a greenfield React app at GitHub after they acquired his startup Spectrum, the community platform of the future.
Theo Browne is the founder & CEO of ping.gg and a popular YouTuber. He streams about topics related to web development, including his own experience building the "t3" stack, which leverages tRPC heavily. Formerly he was a backend engineer at Twitch before founding his own startup. He is replacing Alex Johansson on this panel, the co-creator of the tRPC.io, who had to cancel his appearance due to an injury.
Brian Douglas is the founder and CEO of Open Sauced where he works on increasing the knowledge and insights of open-source communities. In the past he’s lead Developer Advocacy at GitHub by fostering a community of early adopters through content creation showcasing the newest Github features. Brian has a passion for open-source and loves mentoring new contributors through Open Sauced, the platform that empowers the best developers to work in open-source.
