Anjana Vakil

Anjana suffers from a chronic case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software engineering.

Her conference talks and courses on functional programming, JavaScript, and philosophical & linguistic perspectives on software development have reached millions of learners worldwide.

These days she mostly codes & teaches from her dual home bases in the San Francisco Bay & Berlin, when not traveling to speak or MC at events around the world. Nerd out with her about functional programming, ask her about the Recurse Center & Outreachy, and definitely invite her to your karaoke party!
