València Respira: turning a city's sensors into a layer anyone can look at
Traffic, air quality, bikes, and trees across Valencia, in real time. What happens when you take the sensors already spread around a city, open up the API, and turn them into a layer anyone can explore. October 7 at Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía.
When a Country Goes Dark: Surviving a National Blackout with Offline-First Architecture
Singularity track, Day 1 (June 17, 17:00). Spain's nationwide blackout with Mercadona Online mid-fulfilment — local-first bunker mode, split-brain state, and reconciling millions of dark transactions when the grid came back.
When Spain Went Dark: Offline-First Architecture to Keep Billing Millions
TDD with AI: the veteran and the influencer who can't agree (but still write tests)
Co-presented with Alex Fuentes. A look at TDD in the AI era — where AI genuinely accelerates the flow, and where it creates false confidence with tests that pass without validating what matters.
Product Validation: The Dark Side of Vibe Coding
Debate-style workshop on vibe coding with an engineering mindset — using AI to build product without it backfiring. Aimed at founders and operators building with AI who don't have an engineering team to review the work. June 15 at Lanzadera, Marina de Empresas (Valencia).
The National Blackout: Survival Architecture for When Even the Power Fails
How to manage warehouses and logistics during a national blackout using Local-First architecture, Split-Brain strategies, and reconciliation of millions of transactions with zero data loss.
