AI copilots are reshaping how we interact with software—but what makes them really work under the hood? In this talk, we unpack the design patterns and architectural choices that go into building a reliable copilot, then show how Rust and Rig make it practical to implement. From streaming responses to modular agents, we'll cover the key techniques while demystifying systems that enhance and power many developers' workflows.

My journey in reverse engineering the Cyberpunk 2077 game engine culminated in the creation of a new programming language and a comprehensive development toolchain, which included a compiler, decompiler, and additional tools.

Wingfoil is a blazingly fast, highly scalable stream processing framework designed for ultra-low-latency use cases such as electronic trading and real-time AI. Embracing stream-oriented programming makes it simple to receive, process, and distribute streaming data. This talk will explore where stream-oriented techniques are most effective and demonstrate how Wingfoil can be leveraged to build robust, high-performance systems.
