Speaking at DevFest DC 2026
I’m speaking at DevFest DC 2026 — Build Edition on Friday, August 28! Join me and 800+ developers, engineers, founders, and technical leaders for the DMV’s largest developer conference, hosted by Google Developer Group DC (DevFest DC), now in its 14th year.
I’ll be presenting “From Bookshelf to Borderline: Building a Multi-Agent AI That Turns Books Into Travel.”
The session is built on My Storyland — you give it a book you love, and it gives you back a real, walkable itinerary in the places behind it. It’s live at mystoryland.ai, and every screenshot and number in the talk comes from it. I’ll walk through the multi-agent architecture: a two-phase agent graph on Google’s ADK and Gemini, with a human choosing the region in the middle, parallel discovery agents, and typed state between every hand-off. Then the part most agent talks skip — how we evaluate it.
DevFest DC is part of DevFest, the world’s largest community-driven tech conference, hosted annually by Google Developer Groups. Expect 20+ sessions and code labs across AI & Data, Agents & Robotics, Programming Languages & Frameworks, and Startup Innovation.
