@eMergeAmericas
opening ceremony about
@ReactMiamiConf
before keynote speaker
@TomBrady
👏
Knowing the long road
@MichelleBakels
has been on to end up on one of the biggest tech stages is inspirational. But what hits deeper is her tribute to all the people who helped her along her journey in her presentation, truly an embodiment of positivity in the tech community.
Another year come and gone. Thank you to the
@vercel

In all seriousness, massive shout out to the team for the keynote and all design work that went into this year 👏🤘
After switching into tech I realized how much I relied on my physically laborious job to keep me in shape. Over the last year I’ve slowly built better eating and exercising habits that have not only helped my physical but mental health as well 💕

When your sister launches an international conference from her home office! Cheers to
@ReactMiamiConf
2023 and this absolute badass making it happen -
@MichelleBakels

Had another chance to see
@julianbenegas8
speak at
@miamiaihub
this year while in town for
@ReactMiamiConf
!
Amazing talk, lots of food for thought on (not) letting the hype control the future of your product.
✨Attention
@ReactMiamiConf
attendees!
I’ll be moderating a React Miami Docs Club to discuss the new React Docs at the 3pm break in the
@CityFurniture
Tech Oasis lounges to the right of the main stage room! First 40 people to show up get an exclusive beach bag! 💕📚
Looking back at Next.js Conf for some devrel inspo and stumbled across this photo-although I look collected I was shaking pulling up the live stream of my talk and watch a turning-point in my career happen in real-time.
Forever grateful for this opportunity from Vercel and CITY
Anything for my _literal_ Day 1, honored to watch you succeed and inspired by you on a daily basis-congratulations on an amazing year 2 React Miami!! ❤️
Unbelievably big thank you to my sister
@Beccalytics
who brought out her team, pushed her company to sponsor, hosted a React Docs Club, helped build out, and took some of the best conf pics!
You’re forever the little badger to my coyote and I love you. ❤️
If your sister doesn’t blow up your DMs as soon as you stop sharing your location and goes full detective mode does she even love you???
P.S. I was upgrading to a new iPhone

@sophiebits
Hey! I switched from retail store manager to software engineer doing a 10 week Bootcamp. My biggest advice is to commit fully. Mine was full time (highly recommend). Within 2 weeks after graduating I landed my job. DM me if you want to talk more!

Going through my photos for my final game post and realizing how many memories I had the opportunity to make with
@MichelleBakels
because of our passion for
@InterMiamiCF
.
Grateful. Ready for more in 2024.
Got to see the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time with
@MichelleBakels
before leaving SF, followed by a beautiful 4 mile walk to Ghirardelli Square ❤️ these are the days I reflect on how beautiful it is to have true work-life balance.
Shout out to the
@ReactMiamiConf
team for encouraging heath and wellness by scheduling in time this morning to wake up our bodies and prepare for the second day of awesome talks!
Thank you to
@ClerkDev
for organizing this at
@a16z
- got to catch up with some friends and make new ones plus a bonus fireside chat from
@jarredsumner
. The perfect pre-conf day 🙏
Happiest birthday to my best friend and sister
@Beccalytics
💗
Blessed to do
@InterMiamiCF
matches, travel, tech, confs, community, and more with you!
By surrounding myself with positive folks and focusing on my passions beyond tech, I maintain a refreshing tech-life balance and rarely see the "dark side" of twitter.
So lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing people who made my birthday weekend so incredibly special 💖 Big thank you to the besties
@MichelleBakels
and
@GGoddessDiary
for curating a perfect celebration and the best surprise
@grow_love
- flying in for the collage night party!
Excited to be the 'Vibes Sponsor' at
@ReactMiamiConf
this year! 🌴 Our Tech Oasis at
@eMergeAmericas
and RM was a hit.
Proud to support React Miami for the 3rd year, bringing global speakers to South Florida and growing our tech hub!
Haven't posted too much besides the talks from
@ReactMiamiConf
but this was incredibly fun to moderate.
Thank you to everyone who contributed during the React Miami Docs Club 📚!
If you're using the beach bag post a photo in the thread and boost my serotonin levels 🤟
Now for something completely different…
Went back to my high school for the first time since I graduated 12 years ago for their Centennial Alumni Career Fair to talk to students about the different paths into tech 🫡
(It wasn’t as triggering as you’d think)
Last year Michelle and I missed out on
@futurecommerce
epic Art Basel event and had some major FOMO. Needless to say we planned our week around attending the opening night this year. Incredible event
@philwinkle
and team 👏 can’t wait for next year!
Truly a moment seeing the
@MiamiHackWeek
Hacker HQ decked out thanks to
@CityFurniture

Always a privilege to represent a company willing to invest back into the local tech ecosystem in such a major way ❤️🖤
Catch me at the Hacker HQ this week and say hi 🏝️
