Today, we’re honoured to be joined by Jenny Zhang -- a software engineer and writer based in Canada. Her purpose-driven approach to technology development comes through clearly throughout our time with her, and (we think) offers up valuable lessons to anyone seeking to generate beneficial impact in the tech industry.

Listen in as we talk to Jenny about her circuitous path to software development, what it means to be a full stack engineer, her considerations of privacy and safety in voice datasets, values and career trajectories, and more.

This is the last episode for this season of the Algorithmic Futures podcast. Don't worry -- we'll be back next year with more episodes, so stay tuned (and subscribe!).
