Gave an introductory talk at Google Developer Groups Cape Town on asynchronous Rust. At the end, we even built our own (very very very simple) asynchronous runtime!
Graduated 🎉 Undergraduate degree in electrical and computer engineering 🤓 P.S I still know very little electrical/electronic engineering 😆
Got promoted from a junior to an intermediate 🎉. Alongside this, changed roles to a platform engineer.
Joined the team full time after a year of working part-time while finishing my undergraduate studies
Tech talks
My first ever coding livestream! It was on async/await in Rust for Rawkode Academy. Thoroughly enjoyed, had fun looking confused on screen 😆
Joined a panel discussion on AI in industry hosted by NERV. Learned so much from the other panelists answers - we really are still learning how to do machine learning in production settings.
Gave a talk about the work we are doing at Aerobotics on predicting yield for farmers at the Cape Town Machine Learning Meetup. Getting better at this!
Gave my first ever tech talk at the Rust London Meetup! It was on error handling. Super nervous but glad to have put myself out there 🎤
Blog Posts
Thought it would be cool to give a different perspective on the expectations of senior engineers so I decided to write a blog post about it.
Wrote a retrospective of my first year working as a software engineer/data scientist full time.
Wrote a blog post about error handling in Rust that complemented my talk
