John Marc Hickey

John Marc Hickey

John Marc spent nearly 13 years at Apple working on App Store technical policy, privacy initiatives, and helped ship iOS and iPad apps on visionOS and brought widgets to visionOS. He's given WWDC talks, collaborated with engineers across Apple and the developer community, and gained a deep appreciation for the gap between "this works in the demo" and "this ships to millions of users."

Now he's building Dewy Golf, an iOS app launching April 2026 that uses computer vision to automatically detect golf courses, recognize holes and using ML to detect shots automagically.. The technical stack includes segmentation models trained on satellite imagery, CoreML inference running on-device, and sensor fusion combining iPhone and Apple Watch motion data. It's the kind of project where you learn that training a model is the easy part; building the pipeline to do it at scale is where things get interesting.

John Marc is based in Colorado, and can be found at @ioloro across platforms. His talks tend to focus on the practical challenges of shipping real features to real users and building fun customer experiences.

Eric Bernstein

Eric Bernstein

Eric has helped thousands of people buy homes, build wealth, and feel confident about one of life’s biggest financial decisions. Since entering the mortgage industry in 2015, he’s closed over $1 billion in home loans and earned a reputation for solving complex financing scenarios with clarity, speed, and care. He also has extensive experience helping veterans use VA IRRRLs to reduce their monthly payments quickly with minimal documentation.

Eric’s approach is deeply shaped by the customer service philosophy in Raving Fans by Ken Blanchard—a book he credits as a major influence in his career. He believes every client deserves more than a smooth transaction—they deserve a standout experience that’s personal, consistent, and always better than expected. That mindset drives everything he does at LendFriend, from how his team communicates to how they show up when things get complicated.

While Eric works with a wide range of homebuyers and homeowners, he has deep expertise in helping clients who fall outside the traditional lending box—self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, crypto holders, and others with unique financial profiles. He specializes in VA, Conventional, and Jumbo loans, as well as Non-QM solutions like bank statement, DSCR, and asset depletion programs.

Whether you're buying your first home or financing your fifth, Eric brings the same thoughtful, personalized approach to every deal. He leads the LendFriend team with a focus on transparency, creativity, and making sure every client walks away feeling like they had someone in their corner from day one.

Elliott Mower

Elliott Mower

Elliott is the CEO of Current, a full-stack digital agency that builds, optimizes, and markets digital products in a continuous cycle — ensuring the work never stops performing after launch.

Since joining Mediacurrent in 2021, Elliott has moved quickly through the organization — from Creative Strategy Director to Head of Product to CEO — before building Current through the strategic combination of Mediacurrent and Rhythm. That journey reflects a through-line he's carried across his career: the belief that great digital products and smart marketing shouldn't live in separate worlds.

It's a conviction he's put into practice across education, financial services, and media and entertainment — and one he developed long before Current. At EY Design Studio and Doberman NY, Elliott's work ranged from reimagining the grocery store of the future for the world's largest retailer, to building an accessible technology ecosystem for a New York City arts institution, to crafting an award-winning digital platform for a national fast-casual brand. Different problems, same instinct: making complex systems feel invisible for the people who use them.

Nasly Duarte

Nasly Duarte

Nasly Duarte is a Miami-based operations accountant with 20 years of experience across construction, insurance restoration, manufacturing, retail, and trade services. These are the same physical environments now being transformed by autonomous systems, humanoid robotics, and smart building technology.

She is the founder of Mindful Dollar, a financial architecture firm that designs autonomous operating systems for business owners under the principle of Doing More With Less. Her work sits at the intersection of how physical operations generate financial data, how that data moves through an organization, and how AI systems are beginning to act on it without human checkpoints.

Nasly is pursuing her BS in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Miami Dade College, home of Florida's first applied AI degree program. Her academic work focuses on transaction systems for autonomous financial workflows.

Two decades of sedentary desk work did real damage to her body before she understood the cost. That experience became the foundation of her Balance Problem framework, which identifies the physical health crisis hiding inside every conversation about the future of knowledge work. She documents her recovery and research publicly through her Think Like a Healer series.

She is the originator of two futurist frameworks shaping her speaking practice.

1. The Interchange describes the coming convergence of tech workers acquiring trade skills and trade workers acquiring AI tools — not because the market forces them to, but because their bodies and brains require it.

2. Buildings Are the New Computers argues that physical environments are already the most undervalued data infrastructure in the AI economy, and that the workers generating that data deserve equity in the systems being built from it.

Her talks challenge organizations to stop training workers for the economy of five years ago and start positioning workers as equity participants in the AI systems being built today. She brings to every stage the perspective of someone who has spent two decades inside the operations layer, not observing it from the outside.

She is based in Florida and speaks nationally on autonomous business systems, smart building economics, workforce equity in the AI economy, the Balance Problem, The Interchange, and financial architecture for the autonomous enterprise.

Paul McLellan

Paul McLellan

Paul McLellan is a Solution Architect and Product Manager at Suite Engine, where he bridges product strategy, sales enablement, and cross-functional leadership for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solutions. With over 30 years of experience spanning global eCommerce, distribution, payment processing, and software design, he specializes in overseeing integrated solutions that connect ERPs to the platforms where commerce actually happens — Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and beyond.

Before joining Suite Engine, Paul owned and operated LightBulbs.com, a global online distribution business he built from the ground up over three decades. That firsthand experience — managing inventory across warehouses, reconciling marketplace settlements, and navigating the realities of multi-channel fulfillment — gives him a perspective that most solution architects simply don't have. He's lived on the customer side of every integration problem he now solves.

His career in technology started long before eCommerce existed. In 1991, Paul taught himself to code by writing video games on a Commodore Amiga, sparking a lifelong obsession with how software should work and — just as importantly — how it should feel. That user-first design philosophy runs through everything he does, from API architecture to the pixel-level details of a UI.

Paul lives in Minnesota with his wife and nine children — so when he talks about managing complexity at scale, he means it in every sense.
