5/11 At @jsconfco met @lupomontero we talked about open source and became friends 🙃 later he offered me the best job I have ever had as a DevRel @Laboratoriala where I was paid to mentor and teach 100 non-technical women in LATAM about frontend engineering 🤩

🎬 New video on our YouTube channel ✨ This time, we sit down with Adrian Estrada @edsadr — CTO at NodeSource, @openjsf Board Director, and organizer of @MedellinJS, @CityJSMedellin, @NodeConfCo and @jsconfco — to talk about the real challenges behind Node.js upgrades in production. We cover: • What the OpenJS Foundation actually does • Why Node.js upgrades become difficult in production • Common upgrade challenges in enterprise systems • How the FREE assessment tool helps teams prepare • Why NodeSource and OpenJS are working on this initiative together Watch now 👇🏼 youtu.be/PAxhDu2S76o More about the Node.js Upgrade Program: nodesource.com/upgrade

I’m really excited to announce that today I’m joining @NodeSource as a Developer Relations 🚀💚 This role brings together my three greatest passions: technology, teaching, and building tech communities. I couldn’t feel more aligned with this path. One of the things I admire the most about @NodeSource is its strong commitment to open source, and I’m especially excited to be part of this moment as @NodeSource becomes a GOLD Sponsor of the @openjsf, reinforcing its impact and leadership within the @nodejs ecosystem. I’m deeply excited to contribute to the @nodejs community, learn alongside it, and serve as a bridge between the engineering team and the community, helping translate complex ideas, share knowledge, and create meaningful spaces for learning, collaboration, and growth. I’m also incredibly happy and honored to work with such an expert team that I truly admire. I’m confident that we’re going to build amazing things together. A very special thank you to @edsadr, CTO of @NodeSource. His career and impact on the JavaScript and @nodejs community are deeply inspiring. Beyond being a key figure in the @nodejs ecosystem and a strong open-source contributor, Adrián is one of the organizers of @jsconfco, a conference that, as he often says, changes lives. Almost 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to attend @jsconfco on a scholarship, and it truly changed my life. Today, working closely with people who have built and strengthened this community feels incredibly meaningful and reinforces the transformative power of community. Grateful, excited, and ready for what’s next. Let’s do this 💪🏼✨

Shout out to @jsconfco and @jsconfmx que también son mis favoritas 😅❤️

Cuidate mucho

At the end of conferences with your badge return you should have a free covid test. Mandatory these days.

Jajajajaja no pasa nada Julián. Pronta recuperación.

Era de esperarse... 1000 personas!

oh, no

Confirmed, just tested positive for Covid-19. If you were around me at @jsconfco and feeling unwell, go get yourself tested.

😍😍😍

I got to attend @jsconfco with @pionerasdev and that made my experience in the conf to super level 💪 Thank you @Marianvilla @makahernandez @KakyRP @rina_plata @VeroRdgz

Para cuando el próximo Boyaconf @boyaca_dev ? Ya que no hay más @jsconfco 🥲

I'm grateful for the opportunity to embark on the most unforgettable conference @jsconfco in the spotlight, surrounded by an enthusiastic audience of 1000 attendees, I had the privilege of delivering a conference about the crafting of building user experiences driven by events.

I recently had an amazing experience delivering a talk and participating in a panel discussion at @jsconfco. The people there were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, that was 'la ultima'. But I hope to be back in Colombia any time soon! 🇨🇴 #JSConfCo
