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!

I recently finished Anjana Vakil’s JavaScript course on Frontend Masters, and it was one of the most engaging learning experiences I have had in a while. She explains core concepts like scope, closures, and hoisting in a way that is clear and approachable. Her teaching style is full of energy, humor, and personality. With pop culture references, memes, and vibrant visuals, the sessions were both informative and genuinely fun.

This course is great for anyone revisiting JavaScript fundamentals or wanting a better grasp before diving into a modern framework. Anjana makes complex ideas feel intuitive and keeps you interested throughout.

The course had everything we needed to know about JS fundamentals. We had really helpful exercises and projects to work with and increase our level of understanding as we saw everything in practice.
