I’m Nimit Jalan, a student builder from Ras Al Khaimah working on AI for high-stakes fields. I’m the solo founder of RadReporter, an AI radiology reporting platform. It turns a radiologist’s rough findings into a complete, checked report, and it’s now in beta with practising radiologists and backed by Anthropic’s Claude for Startups. At TKS, I built NeuralBridge, a brain-computer interface that decodes imagined movement from EEG signals.

Suneeth Maraboina is a Senior Systems Engineer at Apple, where he designs and develops audio modules for AirPlay and CarPlay, including AI-based approaches to improving audio quality. He has spent 20 years in multimedia, audio, and signal processing — building the core media stack at Roku, leading acoustics and integrating Dolby Atmos into Windows audio drivers at Dolby Laboratories, and developing audio drivers and processing objects at Qualcomm, Intel, and Microsoft.

That work has one thing in common: it ships compiled into devices he can never reach again. It is the constraint behind his talk on the six laws of designing SDKs for hardware — and what happens to all of them when the newest thing in your library is a file of neural network weights.

He is an IEEE Senior Member, an IETE Fellow, and an SCRS Distinguished Fellow, holds a master's in signal processing from IIT Guwahati, and reviews for technical journals and judges hackathons across the US.

I’m an educator, speaker and psychology-informed consultant with a background in psychology, educology, marketing and business. I was born in Lithuania and have lived in Malta, Greece and Portugal, which means I don’t assume there is one universal experience of being a woman.

My talks glue together psychology, research, cultural observation, real stories and humour, and challenge the norms we were taught to obey without questioning.
I’m not there to give women 10 steps to become a better version of themselves, optimise their morning routine or finally learn how to balance everything. ChatGPT can generate a pretty good list in seconds.
I’m much more interested in sharing a real-life experience they will be talking about after the conference is over.
