Oskar Kruschitz

Oskar Kruschitz

Oskar Kruschitz is a product and engineering leader with deep experience building software platforms in complex, regulated environments. His work spans industrial automation, IoT, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure.

He began his career as a software developer and grew through architecture, technical leadership, and product responsibility into organizational leadership. This path shaped his belief that architecture, security, product decisions, and team culture are never separate topics. They are deeply connected, and the trade-offs leaders make eventually show up in the systems their teams build.

Today, Oskar works at the intersection of product, engineering, and organizational design. He focuses on building sustainable software platforms, strong engineering teams, and delivery cultures where quality, security, and long-term maintainability are treated as part of the product itself.

His talks are based on real-world experience rather than idealized case studies. He speaks about where teams, platforms, and security programs break down, and what it takes to build them in a way that lasts.

Florian Metzger-Noel

Florian Metzger-Noel

I'm Florian Metzger-Noel, a computer scientist with a particular interest in distributed systems, knowledge graphs and automation with compositions of LLMs.

I've been programming since 1990, when learning to code meant working through printed reference books and writing BASIC on a monochrome 8086. I got hooked and never stopped building after that.

At 21 I co-founded a software company, grew it over eight years and finally sold it. While running the company I studied fine art at Berlin University of the Arts, working with generative art and genetic algorithms.

I played jazz double bass professionally for 15 years, more than 300 concerts across 34 countries. I co-founded a cultural association, ran a fringe theatre for two years, and built a restaurant, which I grew and managed over nine years. Parallel to running the restaurant I studied for a computer-science degree.

Since 2022 I've worked as a software architect at ML!PA, where I started what is now L-IoT — a platform for managing industrial device fleets. The idea existed in fragments, prototype scripts and notes. Those I formalised into an architecture, prototyped it, and built the team that turned it into what is today the company's flagship platform used by Knorr-Bremse, KAEFER and Liebherr, among others.

Today my work has shifted into open source research published under my name, carried inside my contract at ML!PA. I focus full time on Ranke-Graph, a provenance-first data structure for verifiable knowledge graphs: machine-readable institutional memory in which every answer traces back to its sources. Two papers and the specification are written, with a reference implementation in Go. Alongside it I build Sindri, an open-source sandboxed orchestrator for AI coding agents that makes them cooperate like members of an organisation. I've worked with LLMs since the GPT-3 era and have run production systems on them since 2023, in educational and industrial use cases.

I speak on both halves of that work: the industrial edge, and the research. Both live where disciplines meet, which is usually where the interesting problems are.

Pari Patel

Pari Patel

Pari Patel is the Founder and CEO of Zone and a speaker on human intelligence, neurotechnology, and the future of computing.

At a moment when billions are being invested in making machines more intelligent, Pari is asking a different question: what are we doing to make humans more capable?

She founded Zone around the belief that the human mind represents one of technology's last great blind spots. We can measure our sleep, heart rate, movement, glucose, and recovery, yet most people have almost no objective understanding of how their own minds change throughout the day. Pari leads Zone's effort to change that by building technology at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces, consumer hardware, and AI. She holds 18+ USPTO patents across EEG and BCI technologies, and her work has been featured by TechCrunch and Yahoo Finance.

Onstage, Pari explores what happens when AI stops being technology we simply interact with and begins adapting to the human on the other side of the screen, and why the next computing revolution may be as much about understanding ourselves as building more powerful machines.
