  1. next.app devCon

    CityCube Berlin · Berlin, Germany

    Rafael will be speaking at this mobile developer conference.

    Leveraging React Native Web And Custom CLIs: A Debugging Superpower For Coding Agents

    Your coding agent can build a lot of React Native code, but verification still falls heavily on the developer. This talk shows a technique that closes that loop: leverage the fact that Expo can build to web, expose stable test IDs and helper APIs, and create a custom CLI that uses Chrome CDP so the agent can work with the web version of the app while it codes. The agent can inspect state, query the DOM, emulate mobile viewports, capture screenshots, check network logs, and run real product workflows without waiting for a human to describe the problem. Attendees will learn how to create app-specific debug CLIs that let agents verify frontend behavior, application state, backend state, and React performance reports, then use those checks to debug and optimize the app.

  3. App.js Conf 2026

    Kraków, Poland

    Three days of React Native talks and workshops, where Rafael spoke about building interfaces that respond to what an AI app is doing rather than sitting still in front of it.

    Liquid User Interfaces for the Next Generation of AI Apps

    AI apps ask an interface to do something it was never designed for: change shape while the user is looking at it. This talk works through what that means in practice for React Native, and how to build screens that reorganise around a model’s output without the seams showing.
