JavaScript experts, mentors, speakers

Hi, I’m Henrik Fricke. I’m a software developer at WakeSys, focusing on web and serverless technologies. I like to give talks and workshops at conferences and did that also at clients when I tried my best to be a professional AWS cloud consultant.

I'm Sulagna Ghosh, a JavaScript engineer who loves working with React, performance optimization, web accessibility, and authentication. I enjoy solving tricky problems and fine-tuning rendering workflows to make web experiences as smooth as my morning coffee. When I'm not coding, you'll find me sharing insights through tech talks, lively discussions, and blogs. I'm always learning—whether it's a new programming language or the secret to the perfect masala chai. Always up for a good brainstorming session, especially if it involves code and caffeine.

Helping startups outperform their competitors (using DevOps). Programming since the age of 12 (with breaks here and there, don’t worry). Operating high-scale systems since 18, and obsessed with DevOps since 20. Exploring new ways for startups to enjoy DevOps, and writing about it on my website. Occasionally playing guitar in jam sessions, and eating sandwiches in a different kind of jam sessions.

With a passion for creating seamless cross-platform experiences, my journey in tech started not with programming, but as a consultant in the tech industry. The desire to build and innovate led to a shift in focus towards software development, particularly mobile app development, where the thrill of solving complex problems and crafting user-friendly applications became a calling. Co-founding Frontend Queens was a natural extension of this journey, inspired by a commitment to inclusivity in tech. This community was born from the belief that everyone, especially women, should have the opportunity to thrive in technology. By fostering a supportive environment, we aim to empower women to break barriers and pursue fulfilling careers in this ever-evolving field.

Been coding for over a decade to know if something is a programming fad or not. And no, functional programming is not a fad at all. Strong proponent of Open Source and all things chocolate.
