Ines Panker

Ines takes complicated systems and finds the arrangement that makes them work like poetry.

Two decades into building software, she's learned that the hard part is rarely the code. It's making a system, and the reasons behind it, legible to the people who build on it, use it, and live with it.

She reads a lot of poetry, which turns out to be the same job: the right arrangement of words making something complex suddenly feel simple. In her talks she does that with software, blending technical depth with a focus on the people around the code.
