React Summit

Picture the worst React code you’ve ever seen. Now imagine fixing it live on stage.

🛠 Kaleb Garner — full-stack engineer and application lead based in Dallas, Texas.

🎙 A talk at React Summit 2026:
Mess to Modern: Refactoring a React Nightmare

900-line components. Infinite useEffect chains. A comment in all caps: DO NOT TOUCH. Sound familiar?

Kaleb takes that React nightmare and refactors it live — walking through predictable state management, centralized data handling, and the patterns you need to finally tackle the codebase you’ve been avoiding. No theory. No slides full of best practices. Just a real mess, cleaned up in real time.

All at React Summit in Amsterdam this June!
