I love talking about building software, being human, and how it all works together!
I'm an avid podcaster, from listening, to hosting, to being a guest there isn't a part of podcasting that I don't like! I talk on podcasts, in small groups and at conferences about how to build software, how to grow your career and how to make the world a better and more empathetic place!
Getting rejected after a technical interview is common but can also be frustrating and difficult, particularly if you handled the coding problems fine. You often get some vague feedback about not being a good team fit or “not technical enough”. A lot of times this is less a problem of technical competence and more a challenge of communication. In this talk, we’ll discuss the art of communicating clearly in technical interviews so that you don’t have to get rejected next time!
