Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.

Adams Yeswa is a software engineer and founder building technology at the intersection of software, construction, and real-world operations.

He is the founder of KomeshaBuild, a building commissioning SaaS company focused on bringing modern software to one of the industries that still relies heavily on fragmented, manual, and disconnected workflows.

His work involves designing and building software across the entire product stack, from Flutter mobile applications used in the field to web platforms, backend systems, and the infrastructure that connects them.

While building KomeshaBuild, Adams has had to confront a problem that is easy to overlook when developing software from a desk: the real world does not always have a reliable internet connection. This led him to explore offline-first application design and what it takes to build software that remains useful when connectivity cannot be guaranteed.

He is particularly interested in the intersection of technology and the environments in which software is actually used. His work focuses on building practical systems for industries where software must operate under real operational constraints, not just ideal technical conditions.
