About Event

After graduating from Berkeley, Jennifer Pham worked for her mother at her printing shop. After Jennifer's mom lost $10k in deposits to develop a website, she turned to her daughter out of desperation. Despite a language barrier with her mother, minimal coding experience, and serious imposter syndrome, Jennifer launched an e-commerce site that generated $10K per month just two years later, inspiring her to pursue a career in software development.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Jennifer Pham is a software engineer for Acorns during the day and a blogger by night at CoderDiaries. She began her coding journey at a coding bootcamp and have been working professionally since 2015. For fun, she likes to travel, hike, cook new recipes, and try new cultural cuisines.
