High-performance Node.js image processing powered by the libvips C library for lightning-fast resizing and conversion.

Sharp handles heavy-duty image processing for Node.js applications by leveraging the libvips C library. It typically runs 4x to 5x faster than ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick while maintaining a low memory footprint. You can resize, crop, and convert formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) with a few lines of code. It is a standard choice for high-traffic platforms (like Vercel or Netlify) that need to generate responsive assets on the fly or during build steps.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Your Webcam Knows the Geometry - Real-Time Relighting & Single-Shot Novel Views](https://lausanne.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_cMMuinG2WV4)

Two single-view inverse-rendering systems that reconstruct scene geometry from one camera and re-render it under conditions never captured — one changes the light, the other changes the viewpoint, both fast enough to ship. The Relighting part decomposes a live webcam frame into geometry + material (normals/albedo/shading) and re-renders it under any lighting in real time (~24 FPS), showcasing a variety of lighting conditions (multiple colored lights, orbiting and rainbow-rotating lights) The Novel View Synthesis builds a 3D representation of the scene using Gaussian Splatting and renders it from a different angle. It currently runs at 5 FPS but we are hoping to get closer to real time soon.

### [Building Gemini Local Hub: Stateful Agentic Loops & Real-Time Thought Streaming](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_rsrQ2Yl2vyg)

I’ll be doing a live code walkthrough of Gemini Local Hub, a local-first orchestration layer I built around @google/gemini-cli-core. We will dive straight into the Next.js App Router codebase to look at how I transformed stateless LLM CLI interactions into persistent, low-latency "warm" sessions using a Global Singleton pattern. I'll also demonstrate the architecture behind the asynchronous agentic pipeline (handling both automated "YOLO" tool execution and manual human-in-the-loop validation), and how I split the streaming channels to capture and render real-time model reasoning ("thought blocks") without polluting the primary UI state.
