Daniele Procida
I am a Director of Engineering at Canonical. I work in Engineering Excellence, and lead software documentation efforts for the company.
I have a keen interest in Python and open-source software in Africa - I helped organise the first PyCon Africa, and DjangoCon Africa.
Sessions
Everyone who is serious about doing well in software rightly pays attention to their technical abilities and their development. That's necessary, but not sufficient.
Fanaka is a project to lift up African success in the global software industry, by adding a rigorous and structured approach to the personal and social dimensions of the skills required.
An engineering leader needs to be able to measure, track, represent and drive engineering quality.
It's not an easy thing to do - but if you can do it, you look like an engineering leader, even if you are not, because it's a very effective way of demonstrating leadership.
This workshop introduces you to methods and approaches I have developed in my work, that you can apply to your own.
