Back in 2019, I participated in Google Summer of Code with Django, during which I implemented the cross-database JSONField that became available in Django 3.1. Now, I work as a Developer at Torchbox, building new features and improvements to the Django-based Wagtail CMS and its ecosystem.
Outside of the Django world, I maintain my project giscus, a comment system powered by GitHub Discussions. You can find me @laymonage on GitHub, Fosstodon, Twitter, and other sites.

I first learned Django back in 2018 at a university in Indonesia. In 2019, I took a deep dive into Django's codebase. Five years later, I got a job in the UK and gave talks at conferences in the US and Europe, including this one.
This is a story of how Django changed people's lives – and how you played a part in it.
