Miguel Marcondes Filho

Hello there! I'm Miguel, a web developer known for my passion for crafting user-centric web applications. With extensive experience in front-end technologies like React, Vue.js, and JavaScript/TypeScript, as well as a strong background in back-end development using Ruby on Rails and Node.js. Throughout my career, I've been deeply involved in all aspects of web development, consistently following agile/Scrum methodologies. My primary goal is to consistently deliver exceptional products that prioritize user satisfaction, and having a background as a Product Designer in the past, helps me to bring a keen eye for user-centric design principles and a deep understanding of user needs to every project. I also have past experience on the stages of TDC (The Developers Conference) in Sao Paulo and Florianópolis, and other smaller events in the region I live. I've given talks on various topics, including UX principles, Nielsen heuristics, pair programming, and pair design. Additionally, I actively participated in an internal training program at my company, where I focused on the intersection of code and design. I delved into essential aspects such as accessibility, responsiveness, and UX, along with diving into more technical topics like databases and programming as a whole.

Ramsey Elkholy

Ramsey Elkholy

Ramsey Elkholy is a guitarist, producer, songwriter, and anthropologist who founded the indietronica collective Monotronic in 2016. He conceived the project as a communal platform where instruments interweave into a single expressive force. Rather than spotlighting individual virtuosity, he emphasizes shared intention and group chemistry, encouraging collaborators to shape each track with their own textures, instincts, and creative voice.

Elkholy’s parallel career in anthropology informs that philosophy. He earned a PhD and authored Being and Becoming: Embodiment and Experience Among the Orang Rimba of Sumatra, a study of rainforest foragers in Indonesia. His research explored how identity, environment, and daily practice intertwine. That perspective carries into his music, where rhythm and atmosphere reflect lived experience and collective awareness.

Travel has also played a defining role in his artistic development. After spending three years backpacking across Asia and beyond, studying Indian music in Calcutta, and completing two years of fieldwork in Sumatra, Ramsey Elkholy Monotronic developed a deep sensitivity to polyrhythm and texture. He has described the rainforest at night as a vast, layered symphony. Raised in New York and now based in Los Angeles, he works from a home garage studio.

Monotronic’s 2026 album Waiting for You represents a significant chapter in the collective’s growth. The record features acclaimed bassist Mohini Dey on Close Enough and legendary drummer Omar Hakim throughout the project. Several accompanying videos, including Looking Away and Everything Moves, premiered at number one on VEVO, expanding the band’s reach and visual identity.

The album blends indie rock, pop, and electronic elements into a cohesive, cinematic sound marked by reflective lyrics and polished production. Everything Moves unfolds in a high-energy escape room setting, while Kettle Song pairs dynamic choreography with striking imagery. Many of the songs were written during time spent in Tulum, where coastal landscapes shaped the album’s contemplative mood.

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2019, Monotronic has earned praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone and Relix. A rotating roster of accomplished musicians has contributed to the project, many of whom have ties to major artists across genres. Singles including Kids of Summer and In Between have drawn a strong critical response, reinforcing Elkholy’s reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and immersive sound design.

Reut Beker

Reut Beker

I started my career as a software engineer before moving into product management, where I combine two things that define me: a builder’s mindset and a creative spirit. I’ve been drawing since childhood, and that visual thinking shapes how I design, ask questions, and solve complex problems. Today I lead AI and analytics products at LSports, driven by curiosity, passion, and a love for turning ambiguity into something real.

When I faced the challenge of discovery without customers, I put on both hats - PM and builder - and created an agentic persona system from scratch. That project changed the way I collaborate with AI and make decisions. Beyond building products, I’m deeply committed to mentoring and helping others push beyond their comfort zone. On stage, I share honest stories, practical insights, and a belief that innovation is possible for anyone willing to experiment.

As an actor, singer, director, and playwright, Jasmine has extensive experience in productions focused on theater within the realm of historical truth telling and communal catharsis.

In 2018, she wrote, produced, and acted in her own musical titled “1675" at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, recounting the tragedy of Nipmuc, Wampanoag, and Massachusett Native people sent to Deer Island during King Philip’s War. From 2013-2017, She produced “Free Shakespeare in the Park” at Northampton’s Look Park. For the Plymouth 400 celebration, She worked with the Wampanoag Nation and Theatre Royal Plymouth on a play concerning Indigenous History in Massachusetts. This production, titled "We Are The Land," told the story of colonization from an Indigenous perspective, bringing forward important markers of Massachusetts state history that were previously untold.

From 2022 to 2023, she worked with Historic Northampton and “Plays in Place” in a successful (sold out) series of place-based plays centered around Northampton history. She authored an original drama about one of the enslaved women – “Rose” – in Reverend Jonathan Edwards' household. This work is continuing forward with a series of plays focused on Indigenous figures in Northampton which would be developed for the Massachusetts 250th anniversary project.

Recently Jasmine has worked as an Indigenous History Consultant for the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts, through the Goodnow Library’s “Indigenous History” initiative. She has presented at local libraries and schools, teaching Indigenous history. She has published plays and articles as well as created maps. Her research places her both with historical documents, and moving through the Eastern Woodlands to better understand the story of colonization, and how to understand the way that this history comes together to tell a human story.
