Speaking on 10:00 at SerafeioThe web offered and offers us an incredible promise, a lush and tangled jungle of art, writing, businesses and weirdos growing in different directions, together. A space where you could build and grow something that was yours. But some of the trends we’re seeing today: the dominance of large closed platforms, ubiquitous data grabs and the torrents of empty AI content being sprayed across the web, feel like they’re clear-cutting the promise of the web. Together, let’s explore some of the challenges facing the web today, alongside the small and large things we can do to push back against them. During this exploration, let’s also take time to push against our own expectations of the web we have today and marvel at the pockets of beautiful, powerful weirdness where the seeds of our shared hopes flourish today.
Bio
A developer relations strategy specialist and leader with extensive work in open source spaces. I've worked in developer relations from 2014. I'm coming out of a role at Mozilla leading a large scale volunteer developer advocacy program. I'm a established keynote speaker with an education background. I currently focus on helping teams building developer relations efforts extend their reach by offering experienced strategy and hiring support. I've also founded the Open Code meetup series, an international series of weekly mixed level, language agnostic study sessions for programmers and aspiring programmers. I co-founded Trans*Code with the incomparable Naomi Ceder, resulting in a series of community building hackdays for the Trans* community, allies and well wishers that has stretched across 4 countries and 2 continents. I'm always interested in hearing about what else is out there. Even if an opportunity or project isn't a great fit for me, there's likely someone in my network who might be a great match. Feel free to say hello!
