7:15 - 7:45 PM Networking
We’re all online consumers or web surfers, and some of us have even created a blog or maintained content on a web site. As you might guess, it takes robust teams of software professionals to streamline the work of creative teams with exciting presentation ideas and to make site user experiences smooth. In this session, we’ll hear from Parul Priya and Ramya Iyer, two talented developers who help to make this software magic happen on WP Engine-hosted WordPress web sites.
Using examples from swe.org and wpengine.com, they’ll teach us about the lifecycle of a web site, approaches to managing security concerns, and opportunities for tuning site performance. They’ll also share some character-building professional experiences — including bouts with impostor syndrome and other setbacks — that led them to their current roles and continued growth in fulfilling tech careers.
Join us for a lively conversation about web technology and self-development in this field.
