Hafsa El Maizi

Développeuse et facilitatrice passionnée depuis plus de 7 ans, je vois la tech comme un terrain d’apprentissage continu, où le code, les humains et les processus se rencontrent, et parfois s’entrechoquent, pour produire du sens.

Je m’intéresse aux pratiques Craft, DevOps et agiles, mais aussi à ce que l’on appelle trop souvent les “soft skills”. Pour moi, la performance d’une équipe repose autant sur la qualité du code que sur la clarté des intentions, la qualité des interactions et la sécurité psychologique.

Dans mes conférences, j’aime éclairer les angles morts, démystifier les bases et ouvrir des espaces de réflexion concrets, avec un goût assumé pour la nuance, la pédagogie et tout ce qui rend les pratiques techniques plus humaines.
