About

Hi, Iโ€™m Kedasha!๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿง  I make AI simple for everyone. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just clear, practical AI education for real people with real jobs. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โœจ๏ธ MY STORY: - I went from social worker (making $27K) to GitHub Developer Advocate. - I learned to code through a bootcamp while working full-time. - I built my career on empathy, communication, and relentless learning. - Now I'm using those skills to teach AI literacy to people who feel left behind by the tech industry. Because if I can go from helping families to building developer tools, you can absolutely learn AI. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” THE REALITY: - Companies are mandating AI adoption - Employees are being evaluated on AI skills - But 94% of workers feel uncomfortable using AI - And only 5% of training actually addresses AI literacy That gap? That's what I'm fixing with simple AI Education for professionals. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” In my day job, I work as a Developer Advocate at GitHub specializing in AI developer tools. I create tutorials, technical resources, videos and workshops specifically for developers who want to learn, grow and build with AI dev tools. Through my developer advocacy work and content creation, I've helped thousands of developers master AI tools like GitHub Copilot, build their technical brands, and land roles at top tech companies. My content has generated millions of views and helped developers across platforms upskill and advance their careers. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โœจ๏ธ FEATURED SKILLS & TOOLS: Developer & AI Skills: - JavaScript/TypeScript (Astro, React, React Native, Expo, Node.js) - Python (Flask, TensorFlow, pandas, scikit-learn, etc) - Git, GitHub CLI, GitHub Copilot, Codespaces - REST APIs, GraphQL, Supabase, Firebase - AI Tools: OpenAI API, LangChain, Claude Code - HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind, Styled Components Content & Communication: - Developer Education, Tech Storytelling, Workshop design, technical blogging - Public Speaking, Workshop Facilitation, Conference Hosting - Video Creation: iMovie, Canva, InShot, Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut - Social Media Strategy, Personal Branding, Community Building โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โœจ๏ธ LET'S CONNECT: ๐Ÿ“ง Partnerships & Speaking: hello@itsthatlady.dev ๐Ÿ“ธ Instagram: @itsthatlady.dev ๐ŸŒ Website: itsthatlady.dev
