Maximizing ADHD Superhuman Skills for a Job in Tech with Mālik Mbaye

As a recruiter and advocate for neurodiversity in tech, Letshire brings real-world insight into how ADHD traits can become powerful strengths in today’s technology-driven world.

Whether you’re a student, early career professional, career switcher, or someone navigating tech with ADHD, this talk will help you own your brain’s superpowers — and position them as assets to employers. Bring your questions and leave with practical tools and a fresh mindset for your tech journey.
