I'm in love with the process of creation, software development is just one of my creative outlets. I'm looking to build and contribute to technology communities around the world. I am very enthusiastic about building the African tech ecosystem.
All serverless platforms are an extension of frontend developer’s superpowers, even better serverless allows for that blurry line in the middleware about who owns what between the backend and the frontend teams to be a bit clearer. It answers the age-long question of “Who owns the proxy server”. It is I, it says! But what happens to the serverless code when it has left our computer, where does it go? Does it make new friends where it goes? It is able to adapt and grow as we scale?? Let’s chat about this. In this talk, we will have a quick chat about pushing the boundaries of serverless.

Feb 08, 20219310
Everything should be as simple as it is.
Building for the web requires understanding a lot of moving parts to be able to provide an experience that is accessible to everyone, in the quest for simplicity we’ve built with “static sites generators” and APIs which is good BUT! When you oversimplify and invent new methods to do stuff you might be losing context and user experience along the way. When do you say stop! it’s time to refactor and improve while doing it. Let’s talk about this.

Open Source Festival : In Search Of a FASTER web
Here’s the abstract: In search of a faster web . Humans are generally curious, we poke at things until we can fully understand them . Sometimes we jump into rabbit holes hoping to find what we don’t know about . First it was the internet , then the moon , then the web . Now even things have their own web ( IOT ) , You think that’s cool ?? It gets better . Robots , Deep learning , smart houses . The list goes on , I digress. The web , we had a some what monolith method of building for the web ,the backend spoke to servers and databases that displayed information on the Frontend we called that the LAMP stack , ME{ARV}N stack . ( depending on your JavaScript front end framework). Component frameworks rules the web , are we cool with that ? Totally . However like I said , We’re always curious. So we invented a new way of building for the web {Drum roll 🥁} JAMSTACK . In this talk will he focusing on all the awesome features of the JAMsatck and also looking at the role of tools like Gatsby, Netlify, Headless CMSs in this evolution.

Web gone VisuA11Y
A lot of developers wonder what M16Y means? I mean, a11y we know but what is this new discovery???? 🤕. Well, it’s nothing new just something added. When we discuss Media as it relates to accessibility a cool way to think about this is media accessibility => ( M16Y) . We will discuss the methods applied to care for users that have some visual impairments and have to navigate the web applications we build and also the best ways to accommodate these users.
