How a Single Mom in a Shelter Became a Successful Software Developer: CodeNewbie Podcast S23E7

In S23E7 of the CodeNewbie Podcast, @saronyitbarek talks with Brittney Ball, Documentation Engineer @ Meta, about her journey to get to where she is today and how she made it as a self-taught engineer.

Through hard work and determination, Brittney’s proven that your past doesn’t define your future. Six years ago, she was a single mom living in a shelter. Now, she’s a self-taught software engineer, documentation engineer, keynote speaker, event organizer, technical bootcamp instructor, and mentor.

Or, as always listen wherever you normally get your podcasts!!
