Beyond Code: Why Community Engagement Amplifies Your Career

Are you terrified of public speaking? Does the idea of contributing to an open source project leave you petrified? Do you avoid them where possible? Did you realise they can be a great way to build your tech career?

In this session, I will share why joining into community efforts such as meetups and open source projects has helped me build my career and expose me to loads of amazing opportunities and roles. I’ll then share how you can get started in speaking at conferences and meetups, how to showcase your contributions in open source and personal projects, and how to build your profile through speaking.
