Abby Mitchell

Abby started her career in London as a web developer at IBM before moving to NYC in 2022 and joining Meta in 2025. She’s worn a bunch of hats along the way - software developer, developer advocate, product manager, people manager, and is currently a Senior Developer Advocate focused on the Python Open Source community. Over the years her work has often sat at the intersection of software development and emerging technologies, specifically quantum computing, scientific computing and of course machine learning and AI. When she’s not working, she’s busy doing a part-time master’s degree at UC Berkeley (graduating Spring 2026). If there's any time left over, she loves traveling, photography, and food (both eating and cooking it)!

Sheena

My early career saw me working as a software engineer and technical leader across multiple startups. But it was my passion for education that led me to devote the last 5+ years to re-imagining how we teach people to code professionally.

Over the last half decade I have had the opportunity to work in the Non-profit space and build alternative education systems from the ground up. Along the way I have learned a lot about how to teach well, how to build organisational systems that teach well, and how traditional education systems fall short.

I lead the Guild of Educators, a community I founded to empower tech educators through shared resources, support, and evidence-based teaching practices. Additionally, I run Prelude, where I provide rigorous technical training, as well as consultation, and coaching for technical educators, and organisations with education functions (for example grad programs and similar).

I also founded Prelude.tech where I run advanced Python and "soft skills" training.
