Anna McDougall grew up in Sydney, Australia, and moved to Germany to pursue a career as an opera singer. At 32 she rediscovered her love for code and technology and made the switch to software engineering.

She is also the author of "You Belong in Tech: How to Go from Zero Programming Knowledge to Hired," and is passionate about getting historically excluded individuals into tech.
