In this DevJams episode, Cloudinary's Customer Education team is joined by Ian Schoonover, a full-stack developer and coding bootcamp instructor with an artistic background.
Ian has a recently developed project that automates optimization efforts for static sites using Python and Cloudinary, aiming to simplify image and video optimization for developers. With it, you can upload a zipped-up static site, connect your Cloudinary credentials, and have your site returned with optimizations bundled into it.
Sam and Jen from Cloudinary walk through all the project details with Ian, showing how to implement some of these best practices yourself!
The conversation also covers Ian's non-traditional tech journey, the significance of Python and Django in his project, and how developers can leverage Cloudinary's transformations to enhance web performance. Ian also shares his ongoing commitment to the development community through his KZfaq channel and Discord server.
