I'm back from my 1-week hiatus. I'm still spending time with my family in Greece, but back to work today! During the summer the newsletters will be a bit shorter. Thank you to those who checked in on how my job search is going! I have two 2nd round interviews coming up, both C-Suite, so things are looking good.

Enjoy,
Founder + CEO

Podcast 🎙

Last week on our podcast, we spoke with Vanessa Ejikeme, Software Engineer.

Started her tech journey at 10yrs old where she quickly found she loved tech and computer engineering. Vanessa has grown in her tech career by not being afraid to ask for help and owning up to mistakes. Living in Nigeria she has learned the power of mentors from afar. Vanessa has watched closely those already thriving in tech around the web and has applied them to her career to further her own growth. Vanessa also does not hold back when talking about bad work experiences and the PTSD that followed. Listen on your favorite podcast player, Anchor 😉.
