My name is Brian Jenney, I am an engineering manager, a full stack developer, and the owner of the online programming school Parsity.io. I began learning coding at the age of 30, leaving behind a difficult past related to addiction. Since then, I have worked at several companies, host the podcast "The Develop Yourself Podcast" for beginner developers, written numerous articles, and regularly speak at various events. Currently, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my three children, continue to share my experience, and help others transition into the tech industry.
