Industry Insights from Exabytes Experts

As part of this collaboration, Francis Uzi, Exabytes’ Tech Integration Manager, delivered an insightful session on “Learning About the Cloud: How Deployment Works”. He provided a deep dive into cloud technologies, deployment strategies, and best practices to help participants understand the backbone of modern web applications. With cloud computing being an essential component of today’s digital world, his session helped participants grasp critical concepts such as scalability, security, and efficiency in cloud-based solutions.

Additionally, TC Tan, Exabytes’ Assistant VP for Web Development, shared his experiences as a web developer and software engineer, offering a valuable perspective on industry trends. His session covered how professionals can stay ahead of the curve, upskill continuously, and ensure they remain in demand in this fast-paced field. He also shared his career journey and how he grew from a web developer and software engineer to holding a Vice President position, being one of the Head of Departments in the company, dealing with different stakeholders to manage major projects of the company. TC discussed the importance of adapting to emerging technologies, the role of AI in web development, and how aspiring developers can future-proof their careers. An important takeaway from TC was “Communication is a key skillset to have”, acknowledging that this can be a skillset that is often neglected, especially by tech professionals who “communicates” mostly with their devices.

These expert-led discussions not only provided technical knowledge but also inspired participants to explore different career paths within the tech industry. By learning from experienced professionals, attendees gained insights into the challenges and opportunities in web development and cloud computing.
