In this episode of Svelte Radio, Ken Kunz joins the hosts to discuss his journey with Svelte, from discovering it

through Rich Harris's "Rethinking Reactivity" talk to building complex financial applications. Ken shares his

experience working on Trading Strategy, a decentralized finance platform, and the challenges of implementing

sophisticated charting solutions.

The conversation also covers Ken's memorable Svelte Summit talk where he

recreated the Macrodata Refinement interface from the TV show Severance, complete with props and staying in

character throughout. The episode touches on testing philosophies, state management with his library Svelte-

FSM, and the newly launched Svelte Society Chicago chapter.
