Additional Speaker Details
Using publicly available information we constructed an analysis to help you get a feel for this speaker before deciding to attend their session.
Dru Knox is Head of AI & Product at Tessl and a practitioner-turned-product-leader (former Grammarly research scientist) advancing the 'context as code' idea — that managing AI agent context demands the same engineering rigor as code: static analysis, evals, observability, package managers, and automation. His session offers a practitioner's framework for making AI coding agents reliable in production, grounded in Tessl's work building an agent enablement platform.
