Flutter Austin x Foresight Sports - World-Class Experiences in Flutter! 🔥

GDG Austin is beyond excited to bring you another incredible event for May! We're welcoming Kody Peterson, Sr. Director of Engineering at Foresight Sports & Flutter pioneer, to Austin for a next-level tech talk around engineering world-class experiences using Flutter.

At Foresight Sports, Kody leads the teams building apps that help golfers understand and improve their game through data and visualization ⛳️ . His work lives at the intersection of hardware, software, and user experience — translating precise physical measurements into interfaces people actually trust.

Most apps are built as collections of screens. But the best products feel like experiences — intentional, polished, and cohesive from the very first pixel.

At Foresight Sports, their mobile app must match the precision and quality of the hardware it supports. That pressure forced Kody and his team to develop a firm belief: apps aren't collections of screens — they're experiences, and every pixel, every transition, and every moment of waiting is either serving that experience or eroding it. Living by that belief pushes an engineering team into problems that go far beyond typical application development.

In this talk, Kody will work through three case studies from real production features — each one born from a design brief that had no obvious engineering answer. Some problems turned out to need less complexity than expected. Some needed architectures they had to invent. All of them required asking a question most engineering teams don't ask often enough: not "does this work?" but "will users believe it?"

Along the way, Kody will explore what it really takes to translate design ambition into production software — and why the most important engineering work is often the work users never notice.

Whether you are a full-time Flutter engineer, exploring the ecosystem, or just curious about where Flutter is headed, this is a rare chance to hear it straight from someone who is actively pushing its boundaries.
