We are excited to host our first event focused on career development and soft skills for software professionals. Our incredible line of up speakers starts with internet-famous Chiu-Ki Chan who will be teaching us about leveling up as an expert by dismantling what it really means to be an expert. Next, we have Tali Sason, an Engineering Manager at Google, who will be leading a workshop she has taught to Googler's all over the world on delivering, receiving and acting on feedback.

How To Be An Expert - Chiu-Ki Chan, Google Developer Expert

Think of an expert. Why do you consider this person an expert? “She knows a lot”, you say. But how do you know? You know because she shares her knowledge, through blogs, talks, StackOverflow and more.

Experts are just that, people who share their knowledge. Sharing puts you in a positive feedback loop: the more you share, the more knowledgeable you become. Let me walk you through some concrete steps you can take to start sharing and build up your expertise.

Speaker bio:
Chiu-Ki Chan is an Android developer with a passion in speaking and teaching. She has spoken at numerous conferences all over the world, and has been recognized as a Google Developer Expert for her extensive knowledge in Android. She hopes to make the tech industry a better place by encouraging more underrepresented minorities to step up and be visible.

Feedback to the Future - Tali Sason, Engineering Manager, Google
