Speaker: Emir Kurtovic – AI For Post Recommendation

Posted on by

emirPlease welcome Emir Kurtovic to our WordCamp Sydney speaker list.

Emir became a developer a long time ago before the term “developer” was used for a programmer.

Often, when about to sleep he wants to “backup” that day just in case and always wonders why there is no “Save Day” button floating around in midair.

Recently, he discovered that there is real world behind the computer screen so he does get out occasionally to see the family (they seem like really nice people) and sunlight, just to confirm he didn’t become allergic to it.

Currently working as developer@toptal. He spends all his free time on an AI system which is central to his talk ahout post recommendations.

Oh and Emir is also the founder of PHP BH community!  Phew..

emir brkicJoining our WordCamp Sydney speaker line-up is Emir Brkic.

Emir was first exposed to the web development industry at the ripe young age of 9 years old with Microsoft front-page.

He quickly picked up how to edit HTML code by teaching himself how to edit the existing codes of websites.

His passion with web transitioned into him launching his own web development agency where he is experimenting with a broad range of technologies including Joomla and Drupal.

His business has now transformed from building simple wordpress websites for mum and dad businesses, to building world-class wordpress websites for clients such as H2coco, Zambrero and Rawson Homes.

Emir will be talking about how they use WordPress to deliver different types of content crushing the myth that WordPress is just a blogging platform.
