We are back with another "Side Project Show Off" as the last one was a huge hit!
The location is going to be at Capital Factory in Downtown Austin and we will go from 6:30p-8:30p...just like last time. We have the upstairs room reserved and I will update floor/room name once finalized.
Parking will be validated for all attendees for $8 per car.
The theme for this event is going to be "Side Project Show Off #3" where we'll look into the amazing ways our local community is using the Flutter framework (and other technology) on their side projects!
Don't be shy...this is not a competition, but a pure showcase on the creative and different ways you can utilize Flutter. Who knows? Maybe you'll meet your pre-seed investor to turn your side project into the next big thing...
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SHOWCASING SOMETHING, REQUEST A SPOT TO PRESENT BY REACHING OUT TO MYSELF, CHAD, OR MIKE. Anytime left over, we will do open mic style. So far, we have two confirmed showcase:
-
Oliver Porter - Founder & CEO @ Jippi
-
Sunkanmi Oyaleye - Technical PM @ Microsoft
We would like to keep showcases around 15-20 minutes so everyone can have a chance to present + Q/A.
Don’t miss out! Hope to see you soon!

Hosted By
Leopoldo Hernandez, Software Engineer
I am an avid and focused individual. I strive for daily self-enrichment of the ever-growing CS field. After teaching English as a Second Language to adults for 10+ years, I came to the realization that my passion for problem solving, patience and dedication needed a change of pace, and so, a career-change took place.
I studied computer science at 42 Silicon Valley where the pedagogy is peer-to-peer, based learning. I was able to learn about what inspired me and motivated me while coding away projects for 14+ hours a day. I was a lot of fun.
I'm currently a Full-Stack Developer at Wayfair based in Austin TX. :D
Ryan Francis, CEO & Founder
👋 I’m Ryan and as the CEO/Founder of Whisler, I partner with companies across the US to find top-tier mobile engineering talent within Flutter, iOS, Android, React Native, and Xamarin. I can do a bit of everything outside of mobile (FE, BE, DevOps/Cloud, QA, ML, Marketing, Product), but mobile is my true specialization (particularly Flutter) 📲.
Chad Pavliska, CTO
As a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur, I bring a wealth of experience in engineering, leadership, and entrepreneurship to the Google Developer Group. Specializing in mobile app development, I extensively use Flutter, Android, and Firebase across multiple projects to deliver innovative solutions.
My journey includes leading development teams, fostering innovation, and driving projects from conception to market. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and am excited to collaborate with fellow developers to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the tech world.
