Too Long; Didn't Read
<a href="https://hackernoon.com/@asantos3026" target="_blank">My blogs chronicle</a> my experience as a <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/technologist" target="_blank">technologist</a> <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/making" target="_blank">making</a> my way into Silicon Valley. I am a queer person of color, gender non-conforming, immigrant, and ex-foster youth. I come from a non-traditional computer science background. I studied a few CS courses in college and ended up majoring in the humanities before becoming a teacher. Teaching web development to under served teens turned me on to coding. After getting a scholarship to a prominent coding school, I began working at start ups in San Francisco. Half of my blogs are about technical subjects and the other half about equality and tech access (my journey).
