Angelik Laboy

Developer Advocate, Dolby Laboratories

Angelik Laboy Torres has been programming since she had knowledge of what it was. Whether it was creating wearable technologies to detect stress levels or a non-invasive method to detect types of diabetes, Laboy found intrigue in discovering how to think outside the box. For these, she has been recognized with many allocates such as Intel Excellence in Computer Science, National Award Winner with NCWIT Aspirations in Computing, Yale Science & Engineering Association, Air Force, and the Organization of American States.

Simultaneously, a side of her was compelled in partaking in the creation of stories and their influence in shaping culture. Through directing creative projects in both live-action and XR, Laboy has showcased her talents across distinct film festivals, including Cannes Film Festival. Now at Dolby Laboratories, Angelik has found both sides merging as a Developer Advocate for the award-winning Dolby.io as they keep pushing the boundaries on high-quality media solutions.
