When Darko Bozhinovsky went looking for a tech meetup in his hometown of Skopje, Macedonia, there wasn't much to see. So in 2019, he started his very own chapter of BeerJS, and had twice as many attendees at that first meeting than he had anticipated. This week Faith talks to him about his journey in building (and growing) a community during COVID, altering career paths, and growing hot peppers.Get in touch with Darko:https://darko.iohttps://twitter.com/d_bozhinovskihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darkobozhinovski/ Hosted on Acast.
