About the Speakers:

Nadia Mounzih has been a backend engineer at Divvy Cloud since 2017. She picked up programming on the side while doing a gap year in Thailand and loved it. While at Divvy Cloud, she’s had experience in AWS, Azure, and GCP. Python is her language of choice but she’s always up for learning something new. Her favorite thing about programming is that feeling when you have a breakthrough after being stuck on a problem for a long time. In her free time, she does yoga, plays on local soccer teams, and is on a perpetual search for good Mexican food in DC.
