Andrew Louis - Building a Memex with Javascript

In 1945, the Memex was supposed to be the ultimate personal library. In addition to storing information, users could navigate, organize, link, and share data. When Andrew found out it was never built, he set about building a modern version in Javascript. Andrew created dozens of importers for different services, organized the 10M data points into a graph schema, and built an API and frontend in Javascript. Andrew will go over the history of the Memex, how he built his own, and do a demo of what can be done with it. Andrew is a software developer from Toronto. After learning about the Memex and finding out that it was never built in 1945, he decided to try to build one of his own. Previously, he was the co-founder and CTO of ShopLocket, an ecommerce startup acquired in 2014.
