Cloud native with Saiyam - The talks edition
So the crazy 15 days of travelling and attending Hashiconf and Dubai GITEX have ended. Both were fantastic events and I met a lot of people in person and had real conversations about cloud native, Kubernetes, community and mental health. A few of the highlights were
Having a long conversation with Armon (Hashiconf co-founder).
Mitchell Hashimoto(Hashiconf co-founder) and Koes Bong(waypoint Director) attended my session and said it was great :) .
Meeting with Ministry of AI, UAE and discussing future collaboration.
Meeting with Mumshad (KodeKloud founded) and discussing future collaborations.
All of my talk slides for Hasiconf and Dubai GITEX are available on my repo, I will add my previous talk slides as well to this repo.
I will include some of the pictures in the end of this newsletter.
