Outreach Resources

Out of the Office

OOTH was made to help connect tech newbies with experienced people in tech.

I talked to a former bootcamp grad in LA who now manages a team of React software engineers based in LA. I showed her my final project readme and she answered my questions about interviewing, company selection, self-study after graduation, etc. Highly recommended!

*I chose to talk to the person most similar to me, but they have quite a range of hella impressive people, in tech and tech-adjacent fields, including design, product, fintech, VC, data science, UI/UX, etc!

For example, January 2017 volunteers include:

  • Pete Hancock, VP of Sales @Yelp
  • Lisa Cuesta, Vice President, NextGen Venture Partners
  • James Turnbull, CTO @ Emaptico (Formerly CTO at Kickstarter, an early engineer at Docker & Puppet, VP of Engineering at Venmo)

Github AMAs

Ask questions via making issues on an AMA repo.

I was first introduced to this by following the rabbithole of emoji repos on Github.

  • ✨✨Emojineer✨✨ at Google https://github.com/notwaldorf/ama (☁️️ 😍 ☁️️ 😍!)

  • As a plus, people who do this seem to veer towards the more internet/tumblr aesthetic. 🍕 🍕 🍕
