About Me

Hi! I'm Michelle Glauser.
Since becoming an engineer in 2012, I've been passionate about helping underrepresented people join, feel comfortable in, and stay in the software industry. To that end, I:
founded and run Techtonica, a tuition-free tech training and job placement program for women and non-binary adults in need,
speak about diversity topics, such as impostor syndrome, how to include class straddlers in tech, microaggressions, and building a safe environment,
lead PyLadies SF, Diversity Advocates, and a group called LadyNerds,
wrote a viral tweet about managers covering up lack of pay, title, and team using praise, and
created the #ILookLikeAnEngineer ad campaign in 2015.
When I'm not doing techie or community things, I enjoy baking (and consuming the goods), burying myself in a book, going on hikes, and dog-watching.
