How to Configure Disqus Comments on a Github Pages Jekyll Blog
A simple reminder for myself on how to configure Disqus comments on a Jekyll based GitHub pages blog.
Hi, I'm
Julian.
I build things with Python and AI, co-run PyBites, host podcasts, and help developers, individuals and companies grow.
About me
Technologist, coach,
and developer.
I'm Julian Sequeira - a technologist, Python developer and mindset & career coach based in Australia. Over my 20+ years in the Tech Industry, I've worked for giants like Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Amazon Web Services.
Outside of the corporate world, I co-founded PyBites with Bob Belderbos, where I've spent years helping developers learn Python and grow their careers through 1:1 coaching, coding exercises, courses, and a thriving community.
More recently, I've created a company to help businesses and individuals with their technology needs whether it be consulting, AI advice, building solutions, or tech support.
Beyond the code though, I'm extremely passionate about the human side of tech. Through coaching, I help professionals break through mental blocks, find clarity in their careers, and build the confidence to reach the next level, whatever that looks like for them.
When I'm not knee-deep in tech, playing with AI or coaching, you'll find me hosting the PyBites Podcast, recording the Teaching Python Podcast, playing a few games, or most likely spending time with my kids.
