Lights ON with Multiplatform | ATOM Podcast EP 3
Welcome to episode 3 of A Touch of Multiplatform (ATOM)! This is our podcast dedicated to Kotlin Multiplatform technology in production and produced for you by JetBrains and Touchlab.
In this episode, we sit down to talk with Lutron’s Maxwell Anselm about going from being a KMM skeptic to a KMM convert. Our wide-ranging conversation covers everything from tea preferences to how Lutron, a leader in the luxury smart lighting industry, evaluated, adopted, and scaled KMM to meet their needs.
