Ask away

Tomorrow, I'm interviewing 2021 RealLIST Engineer Dawn Wages, a Wharton research developer and full stack software engineer with "a passion for all things inspiring Black entrepreneurs," live on Technical.ly's Slack in the #ama channel. 

 

Wages has balanced a career in tech where she's learned languages like Django and Python while supporting other technologists as a community organizer.

 

For an hour starting at 12 p.m., participants can join in the interview and ask their own questions. For instance — what are some ways technologists can share their skills and knowledge with people interested in learning more about their industry? Join here and we'll see you there.
