    May 9 2024
    What if you could build applications using a single programming language that runs seamlessly across all devices, from smartphones and desktops to cars and wearables? This is the vision that Dillon Nys, founder of Celest, is pursuing with Dart and Flutter. In this episode of The Lobster Talks Podcast by Lobster Capital, we sit down with Dillon Nys, the founder of Celest, a startup that aims to make Dart the go-to language for full-stack development. Dillon shares his journey from studying environmental engineering to becoming a Flutter expert at AWS, where he played a key role in developing the Amplify Flutter framework. Driven by his passion for Dart and Flutter, Dillon left AWS to create Celest, a platform that empowers developers to build applications using Dart across multiple platforms, including the cloud. Throughout the conversation, Dillon provides insights into the future of cross-platform development, the challenges of being a solo founder, and the invaluable lessons he learned during his time at Y Combinator.
