    Booth staff for TomTom · Berlin, Jul 2026

    One of the highlights of my year. I demoed the TomTom Maps SDK and agents, and loved talking directly with developers using our SDK. I designed our vibe-coding challenge, where attendees built a map app with AI in ten minutes, and watching them build, and have fun doing it, was the best part. I built a live map trivia game, which my colleague hosted on stage with an audience of ~600 devs.
