This is your last chance.

After this, there is no turning back.

You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Always dreamed to say that.

Hi, I'm Giovanni, I am building Polipo (polipo.io/).

Polipo lets you use Figma designs directly in a React application, without generating code.

How?

Hi everyone! I'm Emily, a tech recruiter with over 12ish years of experience. I'm passionate about helping professionals scale their careers and make impactful moves in the industry.

What brought me here is a desire to better understand the developer community and stay up-to-date with the latest trends in tech. I'm always learning about new technologies (and how they impact the job market).

I'm excited to engage with this community, learn from your experiences, and potentially help some of you take the next big step in your tech careers. I love sharing resources. Feel free to ask me anything about tech recruiting or career growth in the industry!
