Jehron Petty is the founder of ColorStack, a non-profit that's helping increase the number of Black and Latinx Computer Science graduates and increase Black and Latinx representation in tech. Before founding Colorstack, Jehron interned twice at Google as a Product Manager and as a Software Engineer, and once at Two Sigma as a Software Engineer. In this video, I chatted with Jehron about his journey into tech, what led him to creating ColorStack, and how his industry experience has helped him run a non-profit.
