Abstract: A few years ago, I started dabbling with Python to dip my toes into programming. Today I work as a software engineer at Spotify, using Python in my day-to-day job. I will talk about how I got here and how Python has been with me during my career journey. About the speaker: Jessica Shortz is from the US and now works as a software engineer in Stockholm at Spotify. Prior to starting her career in code, she worked as an attorney, tutor, and writer. She is passionate about building inclusive tech communities.
