Topic : Networking for Techies
Speaker: Natasha Ann Lum, WomenDev SG
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natashaannn
Description:
Tips on effective networking for techies as a collaborations and partnerships lead for WomenDevs SG

About Natasha:
Just a really curious techie who doesn’t like to be pigeonholed and is always finding ways to connect with people and places surrounding her community in tech, innovation and passion for societal issues.
One of the fun things I do is hosting a tech podcast called ragTech, talking about the realities of life in tech together with my two other techie friends, and with guest speakers from peers all around!

I also lead collaborations and partnerships for my beloved women in tech community, Women Devs SG, which was formerly Women Who Code Singapore before it dissolved. Basically, I tell people and organisations what we do, and figure out fun ways for us to work together!
Outside of my staples, I love speaking and moderating panels for conferences and events across interdisciplinary topics touching tech and society, teaching technical concepts in a simplified manner and mentoring in hackathons or other capacities. So reach out if you need a speaker, moderator or mentor!

Professionally, I specialize in building 0-1 teams and products, mostly web apps, and establishing lean and agile practices within small teams that can be scaled.
