## 🔦 MVP Spotlight: Angie Byron.

Each week, we feature a member of our team or a brilliant partner we’re collaborating with. This week, get to know Angie!

Angie is our Principal Community Manager.

Fun fact: "I got into both programming AND community stuff because I grew up queer in the Midwest US in the 90s, found solace in an online community for folks like me. I taught myself programming by making a little website of 'profiles' for all of the members to know where we were from, pics, etc. it sorted on Geocities and then that became super annoying to update so I learned PHP and MySQL. :smile:"

Pet peeve: People who disparage others for not knowing something — we should all be **excited** to help one of each day's 10,000.
