Clear Function

Say hello to Laila Sadlow, our newest Software Development Intern! 👋

Laila is a computer science major at Purdue University (rising junior) who joined the Clear Function crew after connecting with our senior engineer Brian Lankford. She's spending her internship growing her full-stack development skills and working with frameworks like .NET on real projects.

A fun fact to get to know her by: when she's not coding, you'll probably find her photographing the squirrels around Purdue's campus. 🐿️📸

Welcome to the team, Laila. We're happy to have you!

Planning your 2026 conference calendar yet? 📅

We've attended a lot of developer conferences over the years—some that delivered real value, and some that reminded us to read the session descriptions more carefully next time.

Our latest blog post breaks down the conferences we think are worth your time and budget this year, including a few we've experienced firsthand. From the affordable regional gems to the big industry gatherings, we cover what makes each one worth considering (and what to expect when you get there).
