In this episode, you'll meet a former college English teacher who went through trauma, found her way to coding bootcamp, and grew from coding for therapy to coding for passion.
The amazing Bekah Hawrot Weigel shares her story of grief, loss, trauma, and finding her path into technology leadership in the most unlikely way imaginable.
You are going to discover the power of community, the link between language we speak and language we code, and be encouraged knowing you are not alone in any situation unless you choose to be.
Bekah is the Developer Experience Lead at OpenSauced, the global community of open source developers making an impact around the world.
In April 2020, Bekah started a unique online developer community, Virtual Coffee. It started as weekly coffee chats, and has grown into a community of developers at all stages who support each other, have weekly events, challenges, and more.
So press play and let's chat… you're invited to join the community of Happy Engineers!
