In this episode we talk with UI Engineer/Developer and co-host of the Toolsday podcast, Una Kravets. We discuss the benefits of working remotely while traveling the world, specifically the beautiful coastal city of Porto in Portugal. Then we talk about the genesis of the Toolsday podcast, and its “possible new intro” thx to us 🙂
We also go into what DigitalOcean (Cloud computing designed for developers) is all about, and Una’s day-to-day at the company. We ask Una about her speaking engagement at the An Event Apart Conference in Chicago coming up in a just few days: August 28-30, 2017.
