I very much enjoyed attending the San Diego Python User Group meetups, especially the Saturday meetups at UCSD's Geisel Library. In March 2019, I gave a talk at the Python monthly meeting at Qualcomm's Building AZ on my transition from chemistry into software engineering.
The slides for the lightning talk I gave on March 28th, 2019 can be found here:
