I used to be a hip-hop artist with an album under Universal Music, songs on MTV, a Nike deal, and a track on PlayStation’s SingStar. But after a while, I realized that being an artist wasn’t my true calling. As an introvert, I decided to explore a new direction in life.
In this talk, I'll share how hip-hop has shaped my journey into the world of design and coding. Although I don’t see myself as a developer in the traditional sense, the DIY culture of hip-hop encouraged me to give coding a shot. I’ll talk about how this culture inspired my creativity and led me to work on a few React.js projects. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek into these projects, sharing a bit about the creative process and how I figured things out along the way.

For years I've been a designer who codes and I believe that designing with code or with a coding mindset can help your team to be more productive. In this talk, I'm exploring this concept and showing my daily workflow that can probably help to bridge the gap between devs and designers.

Are dev blogs dying out? No, they're not! Blogs are making a comeback. But sadly, most of them are lacking personal style. So, what can developers do to make their blogs unique and prettier? In this talk, I’ll show you how SVGs (as React Components) can help you take your blog from dull to awesome.
