SPEAKERS:
Roberta Voulon - Founder of Les Pitonneux
I'm a natural language geek who has been living on the command line since 1984. As a born generalist, I'm a professional dabbler in all things tech. After my previous job at Ubisoft I'm now a freelancer iOS developer, with a mission to help fill the skills gap in tech by closing the diversity gap. I founded Les Pitonneux, a skills incubator in Montréal for people learning to code online, and I'm a coach/mentor in the Technovation Challenge program, helping a team of highschool girls develop their first iOS application in Swift.
