New to WiT? Read about what to expect here.

The Talk

The Ripples From Pebbles

This talk, via a sequence of stories, explores how constraints and creativity can be at the heart of one’s journey into technology. Through retracing the origin story of programming, itself, we can map the path of the emergent ‘design engineer’.

By the end of this talk, you'll come to appreciate the web as a medium for capturing humankind’s spark of ingenuity.

The Speaker

Rizwana Akmal Khan, Customer Success Engineer at Vercel

Riz (she/her) is a designer-developer, poet, podcaster, and occasional-speaker; currently working at Vercel as Customer Success Engineer.

As a third-culture adult, Riz has grown up valuing diverse work environments and will always stand in support of spaces where people who may be seen as outsiders are given centre stage.

We hope to see you there!

If you’re anxious about coming along or don’t want to show up alone, drop @anna or @carol a message on Tech Nottingahm Slack and we’ll be happy to help.
