SBBD 2026 Symposium Program

Turning a dense program into something navigable

A multi-day technical symposium asks people to keep track of parallel sessions, rooms, times, and program changes while moving through the event. The schedule needed to be quick to read on a phone without turning the desktop experience into an oversized mobile list.

Contributing without blurring ownership

I joined the SBBD 2026 team as a volunteer software engineer in May 2026 and am still contributing. This is an institutional application owned by the SBBD team, not a conference I organize or a product I build alone. My responsibility is the software attendees use to understand the program and assemble their own itinerary.

Keeping public browsing and personal planning connected

I helped implement responsive schedule browsing across mobile and desktop, with filters, session details, day navigation, room and location context, timezone handling, and locale-aware copy. The same program had to remain coherent across those surfaces instead of becoming two interfaces with different behavior.

For personal planning, authenticated attendees could save program items to a Supabase-backed area and choose to export their itinerary to Google Calendar. That kept the public schedule open to browse while giving saved plans a private, authenticated boundary.

What is active today

My volunteer contribution is ongoing alongside an active public conference program and personal planner. The source repository remains private, so the live application is the public artifact for this work.

I do not attach adoption, scale, reliability, or conference-impact claims to the project. The evidence is narrower and more concrete: the implemented attendee experience and the work I continue to do with the institutional team.
