Twitter, Linkedin Senior Software Developer @ Rally Mike is a Senior Software Developer at Rally, a legal tech start-up founded in St. John’s & Toronto that has quickly stretched to all corners of North America. After graduating from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador's Software Engineering program in 2012, Mike moved to Ottawa and cut his teeth in the software-start-up community there. When he moved home to Newfoundland in 2015 he found that he was missing the many software meet-ups and user groups that existed in Ottawa and decided to start his own with good friend and Co-Founder Scott Stevenson. Now they organize the NDev meetup group in St. John’s which (pre-pandemic) hosts monthly talks at local company offices or watering holes and hopes to be a welcoming space for new and old devs alike! Senior Consultant @ Binary Star Evan Porter has been living in PEI for over 10 years and spent that time as a web developer or web adjacent developer. I’ve been attending PEI Devs since 2012 and have been an organizer since 2016. Matt Duffy loves searching problem spaces for things to grab his attention and solution spaces for things to calm his nerves. After learning about programming at the tender age of 11, he was ruined to most honest work. Coming from a small town and a family that strongly valued community and service, Matt has spent much of his life searching to find like minds to get up to good trouble with. Finding PEI Devs was practically a foregone conclusion. At PEI Devs Matt became a rapt audience member followed by a regular speaker and then a community organizer. Matt enjoys spending his time reading, cooking and tinkering. He also makes as much time as possible for playing with his daughters; trying to see the world through their eyes and bring that curiosity and beginner’s mind to the other aspects in his every day.
