When you do things right, no one can be sure you did anything at all (Futurama Season 3)

I specialize in the software no one sees. The high performance, concurrent, real-time, high-reliability systems that enable our way of life. I love software, especially the kind no one notices.

My software fights fraud, and drives tractors. I've baked solar cells, made escalators more efficient, optimized fantasy sports and my software helps airplanes land safely.

I've improved data center efficiency, and implemented risk-management microservices for high-performance payment systems behind Zelle.

Mike Allton built his own systems long before he taught anyone else's team to build theirs. The AI Hat runs on a Digital Crew of his own - governed AI agents with named roles, written charters, and a human who owns every seat. As its founder, Mike has watched organizations from insurance agencies to marketing teams lose the majority of their week to Admin Drag, the manual, repetitive work that buries their best people. He helps teams fix it by hiring a Digital Crew to handle the research, data entry, and admin humans hate - reclaiming their time for the work only they can do.

Thomas de Klerk works as a learning consultant and trainer at Info Support, where he spends much of his time helping people make sense of complex technology — including AI.
His background is not purely technical. Early in his career he trained as a teacher at university level, later specialising in Human Resource Development. That combination still shapes how he looks at technology today: not just in terms of what it can do, but how people think, learn and make decisions around it.
His work now sits somewhere between training, facilitation and experimentation. He designs workshops, learning journeys and the occasional escape room to explore how people actually work with tools like AI in practice.
He uses AI himself, daily — which is exactly why he keeps questioning what it does to his own thinking.

Hi, I'm Boris. I’ve been passionate about software engineering for over 17 years. Throughout my career, my path has taken me across diverse domains: from building widely used mobile applications to working closely with embedded systems and advanced automotive technologies. Today, I'm based in Munich, working as a Technical Lead and Senior Software Engineer at Mapbox, where I architect complex navigation solutions for leading global car manufacturers.

My professional journey is driven by the challenge of bridging the gap between raw hardware signals and seamless user experiences. A significant milestone for me was my time at Jaguar Land Rover, where I served as the Lead Mobile Developer for their vehicle remote control platform. I also spent time pushing the boundaries of mobile tech as a core engineer on the Mapbox Vision SDK, developing real-time computer vision systems for edge computing—a project recognized for its technical excellence by the Qualcomm Developer Network. While my past projects heavily involved machine learning and computer vision, my core focus today lies in conquering the architectural challenges of Android Automotive OS (AAOS).

My technical foundation is rooted in a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics and Informatics. In my day-to-day practice, I leverage Kotlin, C++, and robust Android architectures to build high-performance, hardware-integrated systems. Ultimately, I believe that truly great automotive products are born when we translate noisy, complex vehicle data into a reliable and inspiring experience for the person behind the wheel.
