Madelyn Kasula

At the University of Pittsburgh, unable and unwilling to choose just one path, Maddie studied chemistry and literature mixed in with some math, gender theory, and other random spatters of disciplines. Eventually, she ended up in a couple of Java classes and found it was the perfect mixture of hard science, logic, and creativity. With a bit of luck, she ended up at Dev Bootcamp after moving to Chicago, where she honed her Ruby, Javascript, and other web development skills. Now, she gets to nerd out on a daily basis without the fear of chemical burns and explosions (just bugs and broken builds). As a chapter leader of Girl Develop It Chicago, she has the opportunity to learn from the wonderful women of Chicago and elsewhere. She is currently a software consultant at DevMynd.
