On February 22, 2022, Rozee, Pakistan’s top professional portal, hosted its maiden DEVFEST in cooperation with event organizer Dukan.pk, which was a huge success. DEVFEST is an invitation-only professional networking event for Software Developers and IT professionals from various organizations to interact and learn from one another.
In today’s exciting new digital age, we have seen an exponential rise of ecommerce and amazing start-ups. Start-ups have raised more VC funding in 2021 than in previous years combined. With the advent of the start-up ecosystem, developers and software engineers have become the life blood which is powering Pakistan’s digital industry.
DEVFEST was created by Rozee as a way to bring developers together under one roof to share and celebrate their work in this digital era, which is transforming practically every business. The invite-only event drew an astounding amount of applications, with only roughly 200 software programmers being able to attend owing to capacity constraints. Full-stack developers, JavaScript, React.js, React Native, LAMP, MERN, and other front-end and back-end development were among the developers that attended. Music, supper, icebreakers, and tech-related talks were all part of the event. During the event, Dukan held a lucky draw for a MacBook.
Dukan was invited to host and support Rozee DEVFEST’s inaugural event. Rozee encourages additional groups to sponsor future events, which will be hosted on a regular basis.
“Rozee’s DEVFEST is a social and professional networking event for developers to meet industry colleagues and exchange ideas relating to tech and development. This is the very first of the series with each event to be hosted by an exciting company who we invite to showcase and talk about the tech they are building for group learning. We at Rozee believe that all of our successes and progress can be amplified through coming together and working collectively as a whole. Thus it is essential that networking platforms such as DEVFEST are present to encourage a sense of camaraderie between industry professionals to share ideas and learn from each other” said Shahid Kazi, CEO of Rozee.
Mr. Imran, CTO and Co-Founder of Dukan said “Dukan.pk is a rapidly growing full-stack ecommerce platform for ambitious entrepreneurs who want to tap into ecommerce without requiring technical skills and digital marketing expertise to thrive in the digital economy. It allows anyone with a smartphone to create an ecommerce store with an integrated digital wallet, catalogue and inventory management, online payments, last mile delivery and sophisticated online marketing tools to get orders. We are very excited to showcase our achievements and progress in tech with our peers in the industry. DEVFEST is an amazing initiative to encourage solidarity and learning amongst the developers”
