About

photo of Dena Burd

Since transitioning into the tech industry a year ago I have had the opportunty to study many languages and frameworks. I can code in JavaScript and Apex and recently became a Gopher! I'm ready and excited to take the next steps in my career.

My introduction to coding came as a Software Engineering Apprentice at Techtonica, which offers full-time tech training and mentorship to Bay Area women and non-binary adults with low incomes.

Check out Techtonica!
