XE IASO

Senior Technophilosopher - Ottawa, CAN

I'm Xe Iaso, I'm a technical educator, conference speaker, twitch streamer,
vtuber, and philosopher that focuses on ways to help make technology easier to
understand and do cursed things in the process. I live in Ottawa with my husband
and I do developer relations professionally. I am an avid writer for my blog,
where I have over 400 articles. I regularly experiment with new technologies and
find ways to mash them up with old technologies for my own amusement.
