Mariann shares how she and her UX research team at Stack Overflow are taking steps to create a more inclusive product experience, while reflecting on her experiences as a mother to a neurodiverse daughter.

Wesley talks about what it’s like to be a developer with dyslexia and why self-empathy and self-compassion have been important to his evolution as a senior leader.

Ceora explains why it’s important to be on a psychologically safe team from her perspective as a Black woman who is also neurodivergent.

We talk about giving people the space necessary to do their best work, implementing more inclusive hiring practices, and everyday routines that help us stay our happiest and most productive.

We conclude with a note about why supporting neurodiversity is good for everyone of all walks of life.

Ruslan K has been doing software development for over 10 years. He's gone from mobile development to automation and AI most recently, working with neural networks. He is a huge horror movie fan - with his favorite being the original Thing movie - and has always been looking for an intersection of tech and movie making. He's also a musician, and is into rockabilly and psycho-billy.

Ruslan started his current venture in 2019, with his university friend who is a film maker. While his co-founder was stuck int the US, he dove deeper into the film making process. They noticed that the processes used in film making were not innovated... IE ripe for disruption.

This is the creation story of Filmustage.
