The Ripples From Pebbles
Fothergill House, Fothergill House, King Street, Nottingham, al, GBTechfast October is here
Again a week later than our usual 3rd Wednesday, we are back on Wednesday 22nd October with an early morning 'before work' shot of talk and chat. This month, Rizwana Akmal Khan joins us to talk about The Ripples From Pebbles
This will be a 'hybrid event' - both in-person at Fothergill House Nottingham, and available to join online too. Those who mark themselves as attending will be sent a link to join the webinar closer to the time if you're unable to join us for breakfast personally. You are welcome to join us at Fothergill House from 7am. The links will also be made available via social media posts so make sure you follow us on LinkedIn and Bluesky to keep up to date.
The Ripples From Pebbles
This talk, via a sequence of stories, explores how constraints and creativity can be at the heart of oneās journey into technology. Through retracing the origin story of programming, itself, we can map the path of the emergent ādesign engineerā.
By the end of this talk, you'll come to appreciate the web as a medium for capturing humankindās spark of ingenuity.
The Speaker: Rizwana Akmal Khan, Customer Success Engineer at Vercel
Riz (she/her) is a designer-developer, poet, podcaster, and occasional-speaker; currently working at Vercel as Customer Success Engineer.
As a third-culture adult, Riz has grown up valuing diverse work environments and will always stand in support of spaces where people who may be seen as outsiders are given centre stage.
Our thanks to CGI Nottingham for sponsoring Techfast and if you're able to join us in person breakfast items and drinks will be provided to help start your day right. Hope to see you there!
