Watch Video View Slides Read Related Post

My first major conference talk, presented at GopherCon Europe 2022 in Berlin. This was an amazing and transformative experience that marked the beginning of my public speaking journey.

Abstract

TinyGo is a Go compiler for small places - microcontrollers, WebAssembly, and more. In this talk, I share my journey of using TinyGo to build a practical IoT project: monitoring my hen house.

You’ll learn:

  • What TinyGo is and how it differs from standard Go
  • How to work with sensors and microcontrollers
  • Building a complete monitoring solution with Prometheus and Grafana

The Story Behind

I was introduced by Ron Evans and Daniel Esteban, the TinyGo community’s big names. Mat Ryer was co-hosting the event. Despite being very nervous, I managed to deliver the talk and even made some jokes that made people laugh!
