I love coding and solving meaningful problems here for everyone we support at First Round Capital.
Jean is a self-taught software engineer, having studied and worked previously in circuit design and computer hardware in a variety of industries. She spent her graduate school on a Marshall Scholarship working on improvements for glucose sensor technology and later studying spacecraft design. Jean spent time working at NASA and doing research on memory technology at Hewlett-Packard before falling in love with software development and making a career change. Since then, she’s enjoyed working at several small to mid-size startups in industries ranging from supply chain optimization to real estate, while also tinkering with side projects.
Jean took one year off from traditional software development to teach mobile and web bootcamp courses at General Assembly, enabling others to make the same rewarding career switch that she made.
