Keynote with Manuel Kaufmann

Speaker Bio

Manuel Kaufmann was first introduced to Python while pursuing his university studies at PyDay Santa Fe, Argentina in 2006. This day would literally change his life forever.

Manuel fell in love with Python’s syntax at first sight. He immediately broke up with pointers and double-linked list of C and never looked back. Since then, Manuel has become an active member of Python Argentina, traveling through South America by car to spread the joys of Python. In February 2016, he was officially named ”Python Ambassador" by the Python Software Foundation.

In these years, Manuel assisted in the translations of The Official Book of Django and Django Girls Tutorial, as well as contributing to projects like One Laptop Per Child. Currently, Manuel works at Read the Docs as a software developer.
