Stelvin Saji

Stelvin Saji

I’m a creative tech innovator and full-stack developer with over three years of experience crafting pixel-perfect, responsive web experiences, guided by a simple philosophy: desktop and mobile first, always. My work focuses on interaction, animation, and visual storytelling, using the web as a medium to turn ideas into engaging, immersive experiences.

A storyteller at heart, I blend creativity with engineering, drawing inspiration from photography, cinema, and literature to design interfaces and systems that feel alive and purposeful. Over time, my work has evolved at the intersection of design, research, and problem-solving, shaped by leadership roles in academic and creative projects that explored real-world narratives through digital mediums.

Along this journey, I’ve authored Expressive Emojis: Adding Playful Expressions with HTML, CSS & JS and The Complete Prompt Master Manual, and I curate Smart Coding, a newsletter dedicated to HTML Canvas, full-stack web development, and interactive design. To make learning more accessible, the newsletter also features an audio edition on Spotify, allowing developers to explore ideas on the go. Building on this creative foundation, my upcoming book, Friends: The Morphing Chronicles – A Tale of Faces, Laughter & Unlikely Swaps, dives into face morphing and swapping through modern web technologies, transforming complex technical concepts into playful, visual experiences.

As a speaker, I bring technology, creativity, and storytelling together through engaging, demo-driven talks that make complex ideas approachable, interactive, and memorable.

Youvna Salian

Youvna Salian

I began writing thought pieces on sustainable design, diversity, and inclusivity while I was still a design student who was trying to find my colours.

I actively look for opportunities to advocate for gender-inclusive design practices and had the opportunity to present a talk at a design conference last year, based on a collective case study on UX design in e-retail platforms for Fashion and Apparel, highlighting common gender-binary biases. It was while researching for this that I realised that the data gap isn’t limited to a particular industry like fashion, but lacks in general. These biases show up in the products that we interact with every day.

This, along with the rage from blood-boiling statistics in the book 'Invisible Women', by Caroline Criado Perez, prompted me to work on 'Designing Value Beyond the Binary'.

As a non-binary person, motivated by my lived experiences as a consumer and driven by my spirit as an informed UX designer, I believe that Inclusivity shouldn’t be an afterthought. I can safely say that, having been on both sides of the coin, the designer and the user in this context, empathy goes a long way. Making one feel seen and heard can be so validating, and that validation shouldn’t be something that feels extraordinary to experience. It should be normal.

I'm here dropping my two cents to be part of something that creates value.

Scott Morse

Scott Morse

Hi, I'm Scott, a software engineer.

My formal background is actually in music, having studied jazz and classical music and worked for years as a freelance guitarist with the ability to improvise in various styles and sight-read sheet music, sheet music being a literal form of code.

Later in life, I became a software engineer, after finding that I got a similar gut feeling when writing code as I did when writing or analyzing music. I did a lot of my initial learning by translating the data structures found in music into code.

I started my career in the software startups of Austin, TX, mainly in education technology, and I eventually ended up working as a lead engineer in the enterprise for the music industry for years.

Over time, I accumulated experience owning many different kinds of projects, building modern frontends for the web, writing backend APIs, creating scalable DevOps systems for multiple teams, handling cloud architecture, and more.

I have taken that experience and channeled it into my own independent software company, Smorsic Labs. Our flagship project is bun-workspaces, an open source tool for monorepo development.

I refer to this as "technology grief counseling."

I enjoy exploring and demystifying new and emerging technologies and enjoy creative pursuits including 3D printing, home automation, software development in novelty "bot" projects, and am a theatre nerd and participant including time as an executive leader of a nonprofit community theatre organization.
