MY 2ND YEAR…

I DIDN’T HAVE A
CLUE WHAT I
WANTED TO DO

WHAT’S WHY I
CHOSE MTD

I HOPED, BY THE END
OF IT, I WOULD KNOW

THANKFULLY, THAT
WAS TRUE

I WAS TRYING TO THINK WHAT I
WANTED SOMEONE TO TELL ME

BUT THAT’S DIFFICULT WHEN IT
WAS 7 YEARS AGO

INDUSTRY

WE ARE NOT CLONES.

YEAR IN INDUSTRY

I WOULDN’T BE WHERE I
AM TODAY WITHOUT MY
YEAR IN INDUSTRY

STARTED AS A JUNIOR
WEB DEVELOPER

6 YEARS LATER I LEFT AS
A SOFTWARE ENGINEER

WHAT I LEARNT WAS
INVALUABLE

I LEARNT HOW INDUSTRY
REALLY OPERATES

I LEARNT HOW TO LOOK PAST
THE CODE AT THE PROBLEM…
AND SOLVE IT

LEARNING INDUSTRY
IS MORE THAN THEORY

PROBLEM SOLVING
IS KEY.

WHATEVER THE
INDUSTRY IS

YOU LEARN HOW TO
INTERACT WITH PEOPLE

IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO DO
A YEAR IN INDUSTRY, DO IT.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

THE INDUSTRY MOVES FAST

FASTER THAN
EDUCATION CAN MOVE

7 YEARS AGO WE WERE
BUILDING MONOLITHIC
APPLICATIONS

WEB SERVICES

MICROSERVICES

CONSTANTLY EVOLVING

THE WEB IS EVERYTHING

IT IMPACTS
EVERYTHING.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO
REACH 6 BILLION PEOPLE

OPEN SOURCE

POLYGLOT

VISION

THAT’S NOT A
DEVELOPER TALK IDEA.

THAT’S A TALK YOU CAN
GIVE IN ANY INDUSTRY.

LEARN HOW TO PARSE
INFORMATION.

DEVICES

MEDIA COMES IN MANY
SHAPES AND SIZES

YOU NEED TO SHOW
YOU UNDERSTAND IT

YOU NEED TO SHOW
YOU CAN TAME IT

HOW MANY SMART
DEVICES DO YOU HAVE
ON YOU RIGHT NOW?

HOW MANY SMART DEVICES
DO YOU HAVE IN TOTAL?

TV? PS4? XBOX ONE?
TABLETS? PHONES?
LAPTOPS?

YOU.

YOU ARE YOUR
BIGGEST ASSET

GITHUB

OPEN SOURCE

SHOW YOU KEEP UP
TO DATE

BLOG

HACKATHONS

GIVE US A REASON WE
CAN’T SAY NO

BUSINESSES WANT TO SEE PASSION

EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE LEARNT

THANKS!
