I used to be a hip-hop artist with an album under Universal Music, songs on MTV, a Nike deal, and a track on PlayStation’s SingStar. But after a while, I realized that being an artist wasn’t my true calling. As an introvert, I decided to explore a new direction in life.


In this talk, I'll share how hip-hop has shaped my journey into the world of design and coding. Although I don’t see myself as a developer in the traditional sense, the DIY culture of hip-hop encouraged me to give coding a shot. 

I’ll talk about how this culture inspired my creativity and led me to work on a few React.js projects. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek into these projects, sharing a bit about the creative process and how I figured things out along the way.

This talk has been presented at React Day Berlin 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

Powering Cody Coding Assistant Using LLMs
This Talk explores the world of coding assistants powered by language models (LLMs) and their use cases in software development. It delves into challenges such as understanding big code and developing models for context in LLMs. The importance of ranking and code context is discussed, along with the use of weak supervision signals and fine-tuning models for code completion. The Talk also touches on the evaluation of models and the future trends in code AI, including automation and the role of tasks, programming languages, and code context.
