Hey there! I’m Rick, and I’m a full stack software engineering lead from the UK.
I’m an Umbraco MVP and part of the Umbraco Sustainability Community Team.
I’m currently working as a Development Team Lead for Nexer Digital where I get to build websites and software. This means I’m working across tech stacks—C# .NET, SQL and Umbraco along with HTML, CSS/Sass, JS/ES6+ and Node.
It’s estimated that globally, the collective carbon consumption of the internet is equal to that of the entire airline industry. In this talk, we’ll explore a project we did with a client, our hypothesised results, and the exciting outcomes for digital sustainability. We’ll show how by taking measures including Umbraco upgrades, greener hosting options, optimisation and decommissioning, organisations can make significant and tangible reductions to their carbon outputs.
