The Speaker
Vlad likes creating systems that are a joy to interact with, be it games, tools, or TTRPG adventures. After studying to be a designer, he then found his passion to be a software developer, though he kept his craving for a beautiful UI.
With cljfx Vlad has brought the declarative and reactive concepts of react, re-frame and reagent from the web to the desktop. Its an exciting alternative to building desktop apps that draws inspiration from the ease-of-use of Electron and combines it with the performance of JavaFX, all in Clojure.

Please also consider practicing some with the Zoom client to make sure you are properly setup at the event. Invite others for a test meeting. The #clojure-sweden channel at the Clojurians Slack is a good place to find people to invite for a lunch-and-Clojure or similar.
