The Tech Academy Podcast

In addition to delivering Coding Bootcamps, The Tech Academy hosts a podcast where we sit down with fellow tech professionals and enthusiasts, and talk all things tech!

Our goal is to highlight the individuals that make this industry great, and show the many different paths your career could take you on. Each week on The Tech Academy Podcast you’ll hear from different tech professionals about how they got their start, their vision of the future of tech, and everything in between!

Ep. 20 Hannah Patterson

We have a familiar voice for you this week as Erik interviews The Tech Academy’s very own Hannah Patterson! Hannah is the VP for Outreach, a Concordia University Instructor through our partnership with the college, and a Tech Academy Podcast guest host! Coming from a theater background, Hannah never imagined she’d be working in the technology field – let alone be teaching in it! In this episode we hear about what her idea of a technology worker was and how that’s changed since working at The Tech Academy, her background in theater, what it’s like being ‘Professor Patterson’, and so much more!
