Breaking Free: The Joys and Challenges of Being a Digital Nomad Engineer

Length: 45 minutes

Room: Room 1

Abstract

I will share my experiences traveling and working as a nomadic software engineer across 30+ countries on 4 continents. As someone who went straight from a traditional office job to working for a startup while traveling the world, I learned a lot about the joys and challenges of being a digital nomad. I'll talk about the unique aspects of working remotely, the importance of flexibility and adaptability, and how to balance work and play while constantly on the move. My aim is to inspire others to try the nomadic lifestyle while also helping them understand whether it's the right fit for them.
