Weeks instead of Years: Creating the Loungemesh Hallway Video Platform
, Community Led Stage

Traditional video calls put everyone into the same virtual room. Loungemesh takes a different approach: people move between spatial video conversations, creating something closer to the spontaneous interactions of a physical hallway.

This talk explores the engineering behind that idea, the problems that appear when video communication becomes spatial, and how Loungemesh integrates with Eventyay to bring informal interaction into online events.

I’m a software engineer and open-source maintainer working across large-scale web applications, AI systems, real-time communication, and data-driven software. I’ve built and maintained production systems across the frontend and backend, working with technologies including Django, Vue, TypeScript, WebRTC, WebSockets, and modern AI/ML tooling.
Alongside systems engineering, I work on AI-powered software and developer tooling, including LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and evaluation pipelines.
