Building a Successful and Meaningful Technology Career

New Arrival

Created 11 years ago in Skills & Management / Coaching

I've led several organizations focused on empowering technologists to gain more skills, improve themselves, and improve their impact on the world (CodeMontage, Developers for Good, Girl Develop It, WriteSpeakCode). More importantly, I've built a career entirely in line with my values that allows me to sustainably work on what matters to me. I'd love to help you work on what matters to you in a style that fits your life, too.

Vanessa is just wonderful - you will be hard-pressed to find someone with as much passion, dedication and heart as Vanessa. I had the incredible fortune to work with Vanessa multiple times, hashing out ideas, opening up our respective networks and making magic happen. I am continuously impressed by her ability to see the big picture, sweat the details and just get stuff done to make a difference.

If you ever get the chance to work with her - regardless in which capacity: Don't hesitate one second!
