Rowan Sentesy

Hop Studios · Senior Web Developer · Powell River, BC, Canada

Rowan Sentesy is a self-taught coder obsessed with performance improvements and developer workflows (the human kind). Having spoken at several EE events about parsing, Twig templates, and page performance optimization, Rowan has been keeping pace with AI developments, translating cutting-edge tools into practical workflows at Hop Studios. He's been experimenting with leading-edge AI-driven development tools while staying one step ahead of his eventual robot replacement. Based on the Sunshine Coast, BC, Canada, when not coding, Rowan enjoys hiking, beach volleyball, back-country ski touring, and homesteading—activities he hopes to do much more of once his AI agents can effectively replace him.
