What is a software engineer? Software drives so much of our everyday lives, yet software development as a field has not adopted the kind of licensure other engineering disciplines have long been subject to.

Hannele has been a software engineer for just over ten years, the last five at PagerDuty. She grew up in Thunder Bay Ontario, she loves her Finnish background, and she’s used to thinking of Toronto as The South. Along with fixing broken things, Hannele loves story-telling and digging into weird historical quirks, so this book club is a great fit!
