Quotes
“If you ask me that’s definitely how I got into tech, not necesarily because I studied computer science but because I went for that industrial training and learned how to develop mobile applications“
“You might be a newbie in tech for 2 weeks but there is someone joining who is a newbie in tech for one week. So what you know in two weeks you can help the person joining with one week. So never feel like you don’t know enough or there is no one who is going to listen or you’re not good enough or something. Just start.”
“Being a developer advocate is just an opportunity to do a lot of things at the same time. I get to write, I get to speak, I get to also code and I also get to meet amazing people.”
“Some of the things I do is try to ensure that developers who integrate with our product have a good experience. So it can range from improving on documentation, writing tutorials, and creating demos of some of these different APIs that we have”
