Community and Me

Studies show the longest-lived people are those surrounded by community. I’ve known this since I organized my first event at 17. I feel most alive when people come together. In a busy conference hall, a quiet cafe, or even an online forum. That’s where real ideas form and friendships grow.

Over the years, I've organized user groups, conferences, hackathons, and virtual gatherings. I've watched quiet people find their voices, ideas become real, and teams build bonds that last long after projects end.

This is why I work with people, for people. Nothing works without people. Machines can be automated. LLMs can be trained. But only people can reach out, connect, and build the REAL communities. Communities that last.

We are people.
