👋🏻 Hi! I’m Pamela Fox, a human that loves to learn, teach, and create. I love being a Cloud Developer Advocate because I get to do all three at once!

🧑🏼‍🏫 On the teaching front, I’ve taught computer science at UC Berkeley and volunteered in bay area classrooms as part of the TEALS, GirlsWhoCode, and CoderDojo organizations. I also started the SF chapter of GirlDevelopIt, where I taught dozens of web development workshops.

💻 I’ve been in the tech industry for 15 years now, starting with my first role at Google as one of their first developer advocates. I went on to be an early full-stack engineer at Coursera and spent many years after at Khan Academy, both as an engineer and the creator of the computer programming content.

🐛 I love watching caterpillars morph from one instar to another, until they finally (hopefully) turn into butterflies. 🦋
