Mentors

Hello! I'm Elef, and I'm thrilled to support aspiring individuals in their journey toward tech conferences. I started speaking at conferences in 2017 when I was still doing my masters and trying to find a tech job for the first time! My strengths lie in assisting individuals to fine-tune their proposals, ensuring they effectively communicate ideas and stand out in the competitive conference landscape. I'm dedicated to helping everyone succeed, regardless of background or level of experience. My special priorities involve providing guidance to people of color, individuals with disabilities, and female folks, fostering a diverse and inclusive conference environment. My aim is to empower mentees to craft compelling proposals, navigate the submission process, and ultimately shine on stage. Join me on this exciting journey, and let's make your conference aspirations a reality!

Software Architect with a pure passion for programming. Currently working with medium to big enterprise to provide auditing, mentoring, and development services. I have spent a good part of my career in supporting people in getting their first development job and work their way up thought the career ladder and support companies making correct technical architectural decisions. I have been working with a variety of technologies, but greatly excel in working with fronted tools and specifically with VueJs, Testing, PWA, performance, and accessibility. I have the experience to work with big and teams and have plenty of knowledge to support companies and/or individual with their needs.

Hooked by software development in 1991, having 20 years of commercial software development experience, and 50+ conference talks given, I would be happy to share my knowledge and mentor female folks and people of color.

I am a book author, international speaker, researcher, software architect, and seasoned software engineer. I know both OOP and FP on a deep level. I have authored two books: "Functional Design and Architecture" (in two editions), and "Pragmatic Type-Level Design." I have created my own development methodology known as Functional Declarative Design, serving as a counterpart to Object-Oriented Design.

I specialize in frontend web development (mainly React, JavaScript, TypeScript) with emphasis on tooling (webpack and others).

Really technical person, build various applications that handle massive amounts of traffic with very little ressources. Built various compilers and runtimes for javascript. Currently running my own AI company which is building one of the world's fastest embedding engines and other nlp related things with a fraction of the ressources most companies have for this. I'm open to anyone applying for mentorship, I do highly value my time nowadays though so the price might be pretty steep for some, mostly targeting teams and leadership that is struggling with certain performance and scale issues as well as struggling with using dev time efficiently and optimising development processes that think I'd be able to help with, not aiming to coach someone's entire career. Might mentor for free in a couple years when life cools down.

I'm a Senior Javascript Engineer at CRED. Have been mentoring folks from past 4 years. Fond of talking about technology, and have given talks on various topics across India and Globally.

Working in web development for more than a decade at this point. Worked for small scale agencies, done prototyping and enterprise level environments. Specialised in frontend, Vue ecosystem. I am currently working as a hybrid between tech lead and engineering manager, working on the design system. Public speaker, author of Real World Projects in Vue.js. Mentoring topics would involve coaching, growth and career development in tech.

I want to help everyone, from people who are starting to people with experience who just need some guidance. I would like to mentor everyone! and I really mean everyone!

Over 20 years of engineering including over 10 years of engineering leadership in the teams up to 30+ people with 3 levels of leadership hierarchy in mid-sized companies, including stages of rapid growth, reorgs, etc. I'd be happy to mentor folks about any leadership topics: what's important for a newly-promoted Engineering Manager, setting up engineering metrics, running career development practice for engineering teams, how to design the org structure for growth, etc. Feel free to reach out.
