Rendle is the CTO of XRAI, on a mission to subtitle and translate real life using AI and mixed reality. When it comes to programming they are obsessed with maximizing performance and minimizing complexity. When it comes to speaking, they combine 40 years experience in tech with skills acquired as a professional stand-up comic in the 90s to deliver entertaining and informative talks at conferences around the world. They recently learned to play bass so they could join tech parody band The LineBreakers and promptly became obsessed with that, too.
