The tech community can be incredibly rich and full of possibilities for finding your tribe, getting involved in events, and connecting with other people.
In this session, we are joined by Lian Li, a software developer, to community organiser and engineering manager. We take a peek behind the curtain of what it takes to build a thriving community in tech, while staying true to being diverse, inclusive and relevant.
By sharing her journey, Lian shows us why being a part of the right tech community is important and how it can give you the confidence and the courage to work on the things that matter most.
About Lian Li
After a failed attempt at becoming a lawyer, she decided to do something with computers instead. Working as a Fullstack Software Engineer, she got into attending tech events and giving talks on Machine Learning.
During this time, she fell in love with the tech community and discovered her passion for building community and providing a safe and productive environment for all, which led to her organising the community conference ServerlessDays Amsterdam.
Currently, Lian lives in Amsterdam and works as Engineering Manager at Container Solutions, a consultancy focused on programmable infrastructure.
