S2E7: Rocco Basalmo: A Career in Game and Web Design

Two friends from elementary school kick off this tech podcast (because we need another one), aimed primarily at career changers seeking to level up quickly in the field of tech, but in the midst of the responsibilities of adult life. 

Jon is an academic turned start-up guy with Data Science expertise.

Melissa is a mid-life career changer, pursuing a second career as a Software Engineer first via a Bootcamp and currently as a CS Master's student at UPenn.

Headed your way:

Tech concepts explained so a 10-year-old can understand and lots of lame analogies.
