NAME: Ohad Eder-Pressman, Co-founder & CEO of Stackbit

Title: JAMstack themes and tooling - Key drivers for adoption of a modern web ecosystem
Ohad will share how he's experienced the evolution of website architectures over the last 10 years and why he's excited about the massive adoption of the JAMstack. With new architectural shifts comes a need for new tooling and resources and we'll cover how themes are a big part of this.

NAME: Prabhaav Bhardwaj, Co-Founder of Stealthy Inc.
Title: Adding Authentication To Your App The Easy Way
Adding Authentication To Your App The Easy Way - Authentication is a major pain point in the decentralized (Web3) app landscape and still in Web2 space. SimpleID was born from our team's experience building the first mobile decentralized messenger (Stealthy), and one of the most popular dApps: Graphite Docs.
In this talk, I'll explain how we help app developers add decentralized authentication and storage in 10 minutes or less, while reducing friction for end-user sign ups. Learning about blockchain technology will be very beneficial for developers professionally and personally as the technology becomes increasingly prevalent. The talk will give the audience the pain points and issues faced by end-users, crypto devs, and web devs.

Prabhaav Bhardwaj, Co-Founder Stealthy Inc. Developer for 10+ years, launched first decentralized messenger at TechCrunch Disrupt. Previously worked for Xilinx Inc., Mentor Graphics. Built back-end, front-end, web, mobile apps, digital analyzers in Java/C++. Started my career building FPGA design tools and now am trying to help the burgeoning decentralized technology sector. My hobbies: snowboarding, chess, TLC shows.

NAME: Sean Grove, Co-Founder at OneGraph
TITLE: Mold any GraphQL query into a serverless function with persisted queries

Persisted queries aren't widely known about in the GraphQL world, since they're associated with the Relay GraphQL client - and even when they are used, it's mostly for performance reasons!
But done right, persisted queries become a way to rapidly build custom, purpose-fit APIs on top of a GraphQL service, so JAMstack devs can call into secure APIs easily and efficiently.
I'll show a demo of our OSS project, Changelog, that can be used to drive a blog from GitHub issues serverlessly.

Sean's a cofounder at OneGraph, a unifying GraphQL gateway to the best APIs on the internet. Sean's been convinced there are better ways to develop applications across the stack for years, and built time-travelling debuggers, interface builders, layout tools, and graphic design tools in his quest to explore the space
