Anjana Vakil

Software Engineer & Educator

Anjana suffers from a chronic case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software development. As a freelance engineer & educator, these days she mostly codes & teaches from her home base in San Francisco, when not traveling (in a mask) to events around the world to speak about the joy of programming and advocate for a more equitable & ethical tech industry. Nerd out with her about functional programming & JavaScript, ask her about the Recurse Center & Outreachy, and definitely invite her to your karaoke party!

What They're Saying

Really well organized and structured course! The exercises are small but super effective, and the explanations make it easy to understand the concepts. The exercises were so helpful that I actually wish there were more of them! Overall, a great course with tons of value.

Bruno Pardelha

This course was so fun and very engaging. I was a total beginner before starting the course (but with some experience in other languages). The exercises were well-made. Also, all the links to the docs and the state of the community were very welcome. Thank you!

This is such a useful and essential JS course. I wish I took it earlier! Kudos to Anjana for such a brilliant course, and thanks to the Frontend Masters team.
