Flutter Birmingham

Join us for our next Flutter Birmingham event on 25 June, featuring two exciting talks from Manu Kenchappa Junjanna and Damilare Bakare.
This session will explore the future of mobile development from two important angles: how user interfaces may become more adaptive through GenUI, and how mobile apps can become faster, smarter, and more private through on-device AI.

## Talk 1

Talk Title: From Fixed Screens to Intent-Driven Interfaces: UI -> GenUI

Talk Description:
UI/UX designers spend a lot of time understanding users and creating better, more thoughtful interfaces. But there will always be some users whose needs a static UI may not fully cater to, and that’s where GenUI comes into the picture.
Join this talk at Flutter Birmingham to explore how GenUI could shape the future of UI. We’ll discuss how we are slowly moving from fixed screens to intent-driven interfaces, and how Flutter’s reactive approach can help make this possible.

Speaker Bio:
Manu Kenchappa Junjanna is a Flutter Developer at BrightHR, where he works on the BrightSafe and BrightConsult apps used by over 100,000 clients. His experience spans Flutter, Android, clean architecture, mobile performance, CI/CD automation, and native-to-Flutter integration.

He has also contributed to AI-powered and agriculture-focused mobile products, including Pezego, a Flutter application supporting maize farmers in Ghana, and has worked on mobile SDKs used across banking applications at scale. Manu is especially interested in building thoughtful mobile experiences that combine strong engineering foundations with practical user value.

## Talk 2

Speaker: Damilare Bakare

Talk Title: Edge AI on Mobile: Building Faster, Smarter, and More Private AI Apps

Talk Description:
AI features are becoming a major part of modern mobile experiences, but sending everything to the cloud is not always the best option. In this talk, Damilare will explore how mobile apps can run AI features directly on-device, improving speed, privacy, and user experience.
The session will cover practical lessons from building AI-powered mobile experiences, including what works well, common challenges, and why edge AI is becoming increasingly important for mobile developers.

Speaker Bio:
