Software Developers Journey #180 April Speight in her own lane from design to advocacy
Dec 7, 2021
53:51
April took us on a rollercoaster. We talked about how she learned Python in the open, made videos about her learning, and landed a children's book deal. April told us about transitioning to the AR/VR space and how she landed at Microsoft, first as a Program Manager, and then (finally) in advocacy, with an explosive start happening in an MIT Hackathon! From her project management studies and realization, she learned to code to find a job to her first internship.
