Introducing @dhardiker co-founder of @ReBuild_Con. You might know Dan as a Fractional CTO & Coach at Atlas Advantage, helping Atlassian Partners thrive rather than survive through all of today’s challenges; or from his work with Devoxx events & CERN’s STEM outreach at festivals.

Replying to @virtualJUG
is @ReBuild_Con, taking place in London on 5&6 May 2027. It's a conference centred on the people writing the code, rather than just the tools & languages they use. We're also building a brand new session format called The Conversation; more on that soon.
