Season 2, Episode 7 | May 18, 2021

In this episode of the podcast we talk to Nerando Johnson, a full stack developer, about running freeCodeCamp meetups in Atlanta, learning through hackathons, and how his next endeavor should be socialization as a service for tech events.

Nerando Johnson

This is Nerando, he likes to use programming to solve problems, (Yup, he is a developer). Nerando has been a community organizer for freeCodeCamp Atlanta for over the last two years. He has been to a few hackathons and is an infrequent blogger. When not coding, Nerando enjoys coding cooking, reading, the act of creating something from nothing and consuming the odd blog or podcast about the human mind (Hi, NPR).

Show Notes:

In this episode of the podcast, Dan and Bekah talk with Nerando Johnson, a full stack developer looking for his next job, about running freeCodeCamp meetups in Atlanta, learning through hackathons (including that one time his team won the hackathon and donated the $40,000 in winnings to charity) and how his next endeavor should be socialization as a service for tech events. We also talk about the importance of having a solid support system and we laugh...a lot.
