Vitaly Friedmann

Vitaly loves beautiful content and does not give up easily. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany. While writing algebra proofs and preparing for software engineering at nights in the kitchen, at the same time he discovered passion for typography, interface design and writing. After working as a freelance designer and developer for 6 years, he co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimisation to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years.

Vitaly is the author, co-author and editor of all Smashing books, and a curator of all Smashing Conferences. He currently works as creative lead of Smashing Magazine and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with European Parliament, Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and a few other companies.

Talk: Boosting Web Performance in 2023

Even heavy, framework-driven, legacy-haunted apps can get into the green Core Web Vitals and great Lighthouse scores. With partial hydration, critical rendering, clean CSS architecture, Qwik, AVIF, service workers, web workers, predictive prefetching and a dash of client hints, resource hints and early hints, we just need to apply the right performance strategy to get there.

So how do we do that? Let’s figure out some of the most critical optimization strategies to get your website blazingly fast — in 60 mins or less!

Cindy Clark

Cindy is a Product Designer based in San Francisco. She brings a successful background in fine jewellery and a passion for exploring how technology can enhance and transform the industry. Her fascination with the intersection of jewellery and technology led her to study UX Design at San Francisco State University. With technology, the world becomes your canvas, and you can create experiences ranging from subtle to immersive, which captivated me.

Throughout her career, she has worked on innovative projects that blend technology with the traditional world of fine jewellery. She helps presented CAD technology to the American jewellery industry, revolutionising how jewellery is designed and produced at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Recently, she introduced augmented reality (AR) virtual try-on technology to a jewellery company, combining my expertise in jewellery with my passion in technology.
