Thriving in Tech: Lessons on Adaptability and Entrepreneurial Success 🎥
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.
