IxDF San Francisco is teaming up with Tin Computer and Cepien AI for a night built around vibe coding: a talk, a live hackathon, and food, drinks, and prizes.
Our guest speaker is Feridoon "Doon" Malekzadeh, Senior UX Strategist for AI and Agentic Experiences at ServiceNow. Feridoon "Doon" Malekzadeh is a product design executive, creative technologist, and lifelong tinkerer with more than 20 years of experience turning ideas into products. Today, he leads AI and agentic experience strategy for ServiceNow's Digital Technology design team.
Vibe coding has brought Doon closer to what he loves most: building. As a Lovable Ambassador and Platinum-tier user, he explores how designers can use AI to move from idea to working product with unprecedented speed, without sacrificing curiosity, craft, or care. He has built and shipped AI experiences used by more than 60,000 people.
Doon will talk through: How he became a Lovable Ambassador Some of the projects he's worked on How to go about building a vibe coding product that's actually useful What he's learned from the projects he's built
10 builders. One room. Everyone watching. We're putting 10 creators in the seat to design and vibe code live on the floor. If you want to show what you can build when the pressure is on and the vibes are flowing, the form is your way in.
