Todd Fisher

Launching 0-1 startups

Philo Ventures

In his current role Todd co-launches a new venture backed startup every few months, acting as an interim CTO / founding engineer. Over Todd’s close to 20 year career, he has held titles such as head of engineering, director of engineering and principal software engineer. Todd loves to build things and, like many of us, has been embracing the shift into the AI native mindset of software development. When Todd is not telling an AI to write code, he can be found strumming his guitar in random places, such as the beach, in the mountains, on his front porch, or even at a tech conference such as this one :). Todd is passionate about creating positive experiences for people, including through writing music, building products, and community building . Todd is always open for a jam session or the occasional paired programming with strangers, just ask.

Do you ever wonder What the next evolution of live performances will look like? I do all the time. Come experience what happens when you combine live guitar playing with DSP as well as TTS and other models, all running locally. Prepare to be entertained and get familiar with new possibilities that modern tools open up in the audio and digital signal processing space while you enjoy a live performance on top of an informative slide presentation. Walk away from this talk inspired to help build the next evolution of options for musicians and live performances. We will touch on building with tools such as classic DSP, JUCE, TTS, STT, pitch detection with YIN, llama 3 and more with an emphasis of running it all locally on device! You might even get a chance to have a conversation with a guitar!
