Episode Synopsis

Former musical theatre actress and Hackbright Academy graduate, Chloe Condon is now a Developer Evangelist at Sentry. Pre-Hackbright, she spent her nights and weekends performing in the Bay Area as a singer/actress and worked in tech by day. To support her theatre career, she started to learn to code on her own through online resources. Perhaps the only engineer you’ll meet who has been in “Hairspray”, “Xanadu”, and “Jerry Springer: the Opera”- she is passionate about bringing people with non-traditional backgrounds into the world of tech. If you’re trying to place her face, yes- she’s the young woman giving the awkward thumbs up in the “What It’s Like to be a Woman at a Tech Conference” article (which she also wrote). Chloe is also the organizer of TechLadyPicnic (a SF women in tech meet-up group), as well as the hostess/organizer of Sentry Scouts (a camp-themed monthly tech meet-up… yes there are patches for each meet-up). A quick Google search of her will provide you with getting started with Docker videos, observability articles, theatre reviews, tech blogs, and videos of her singing- enjoy!EXTRAS:Hackbright AcademyBetter Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits–to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win by Gene Kimhttps://breakingintostartups.com/Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm by Thich Nhat Hanh CONTACT: https://twitter.com/ChloeCondonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chloecondon/https://medium.com/@chloecondonhttps://blog.sentry.io/2018/01/10/sentry-scouts-meetupBONUS:Click on this link and Help support this podcast becuase I love puppies : )https://www.patreon.com/advanceyourartThis podcast is brought to you by Audible.
