Had a fantastic time speaking on the AI Panel at the Civo Navigate event in Bengaluru on 18th November.
With 1,000+ attendees from across the tech ecosystem, the energy in the room was incredible. The audience's questions, curiosity, and engagement made the session truly memorable.
Events like these reinforce how rapidly the AI landscape is evolving - and how important it is for the community to collaborate, challenge assumptions, and build responsibly.
It was a great experience speaking at Civo Navigate Bangalore, an event focused on AI and data. Despite being the start of the week, the turnout was impressive, and the sessions, food, and networking were fantastic.
My talk covered Re-architecting for Scale, highlighting strategies for migrating and modernizing application experiences.
I had the privilege of joining a panel at Civo Navigate in Berlin, where I spoke with other Berlin meetup organizers about the city's tech communities. It was inspiring to share the stage with Benazir Khan, Stephen Batifol and Kadir Keles. A big thanks to Kunal Kushwaha for asking the right questions and keeping the discussion vivid!
I had the privilege of sitting on the community connectors panel at Civo Navigate!
Just a year ago, I was an attendee at these groups' events and today, I'm honored to sit alongside them on stage and talk about how much the Tampa Bay tech community has impacted me both professionally and personally.
The team at StackGen had a fantastic time at Civo Navigate! We hope everyone who attended this week in San Francisco had as much fun as our team did. Thank you to everyone who came by our booth or watched our two talks. We appreciate you!
Despite having an amazing agenda… the best thing about Civo Navigate was the people! Attendees were some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of spending time with. Speakers and sponsors were next-level smart and incredibly approachable. But I think the best was the Civo team. Caring. Passionate. Hard-working. Knowledgeable. Driven. Balanced. Excited. Helpful. Inclusive... Fantastic human beings and huge credit to themselves and their company. It's no surprise Civo are doing such great things with their platform!
