Online talks

We're sorry!

We made a mistake in processing the videos from DjangoCon US 2024. The sponsor acknowledgements are missing our wonderful sponsor, the Wharton School. We deeply regret this and are working to re-upload videos with our correct sponsor acknowledgements.

All videos have been marked as unlisted and will be removed in the future. We expect the new, permanent videos to be uploaded in two weeks.

    I'm Vaarun Sinha, and I began my programming journey at the age of 12. Although I've explored various aspects of full-stack development, my heart resonates the most with Django, a framework I've passionately embraced for over 3 years. In 2021, I co-founded Digitea (a creative media tech and events company based out of Mumbai) and assumed the role of CTO. Leading a dynamic tech team, we seamlessly integrate Django into our projects, which has enabled me to learn how to use Django for any use case. I find immense joy in working with Django and am eager to continue sharing our journey and insights with the community.
