I am the founder of Geekabyte, an initiative that delivers in-person workshops on web development and organizes international conferences such as React India and JSConf India. I am an international speaker on topics such as empathy-driven development, web performance, and progressive web apps. I am also a founding member of Mumbai Women Coders, a group that aims to encourage and support more women in tech. My mission is to empower and inspire others to code and create accessible and inclusive web experiences. I am also an author and have written a book on building accessible websites:https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Manjula-Dube-ebook/dp/B08RGTQB6W
