Watch this (safe) space (LibertyJS 2019)
The culture in tech is great: future-forward, evidence-based, data-driven. It's also not so great: it can feel exclusive and a little elitist. This keynote gives applicable tools to make teams, companies and the whole industry healthier, by creating diverse and inclusive safe spaces.

Crash course in compile-to-the-web (MLOC.js)

Playing DVD in JavaScript for the sake of interoperability (JSConf US)
We have everything we need to read DVD-video discs in a browser, so why don't we start? For that purpose, I ported libdvdread and libdvdnav libraries to JavaScript so that we can parse the DVD-video info files and emulate a virtual machine. The resulting project is a mix of websockets, video elements, media source extensions and a lot of open source love.

60 FPS Retro Gaming on Mobile (Reject.JS)
Born as an interpreter, jsSMS is now a hybrid emulator for Sega Master System and Game Gear. It makes use of static and dynamic recompilation, and falls back to a classical interpreter if required. From parsing to JavaScript generation using an optimised AST, I present the different steps that makes an emulator fast. The ultimate goal is to provide full speed for retro gaming on mobile browser and web app!
