Women Who Reign: Angie Chang

I’ve known Angie for a few years now: first through HackBright Academy and then through Girl Geek Dinners. Angie is one of our key Women Who Reign because she has dedicated herself to helping other women connect and find opportunities within tech. Thank you for all that you do!
