Sue Smith, Senior Learning Experience Manager at Fastly came by to chat with me about the state of education in the tech sector. Sue has a genuine passion for education and can take just about any area of the tech landscape, dive-in, and begin helping onboard others to some very complex topics. Sue and I share a concern about the amount of investment enterprises and startups make across their operations and teams, and question that we all have enough discipline to consider ourselves engineers. This episode went five minutes beyond the normal cut-off, because I just wasn't paying attention and just enjoying talking with Sue.

Sue Smith
Senior Learning Experience Manager at Fastly
Hiya I've been working in developer education since 2007, before that I worked in public sector arts venue management for several years and did a load of temp jobs in various other industries. I specialise in developer learning and enablement on community software products, most recently Glitch. Highlights include designing education strategy at Postman and building out the platform’s initial training and certification program, and co-founding a non-profit that partnered with the Mozilla Foundation on a series of open education events. I'm currently Senior Learning Experience Manager at Fastly, focused on building cross-functional learning strategy and empowering people to build the web!
