Adhithi Ravichandran at All Things Open 2024, Raleigh N.C

Recently I had a fabulous opportunity to keynote at the All Things Open Conference at Raleigh, N.C. I gave this keynote to a crowd of over 2500 awesome attendees. This is the largest crowd I have spoken to, and had the best feedback ever!

Adapting and thriving in the ever-changing world of technology is no small feat. In my keynote, I shared my journey; from moving to the United States for my Master’s degree to becoming a Software Consultant, Author, and Speaker. Along the way, I discovered how adaptability, deep specialization, and an entrepreneurial mindset can help developers succeed in the fast-paced tech landscape.

đź’ˇ Key Takeaways

Embrace Change: Pivot when opportunities arise, even if they’re uncomfortable.

Invest in Learning: Whether it’s coding, public speaking, or leadership, growth comes from deliberate effort.

Find Your “Why”: Having a purpose beyond just work keeps you motivated through challenges.

✍️ Behind the Keynote

This keynote reflects my journey, from my father’s encouragement to adapt and thrive, the support from my husband, along with the challenges of raising our two kids while pursuing a career I love. It’s a testament to the fact that with the right mindset, anyone can create their own success story.
