Elpha Interview (Not Published)

Transcript from an unpublished Elpha interview: I shared my journey from bootcamps to boardrooms, leading in tech, and balancing front-end engineering at Slack.

Frances Coronel

I’m Frances Coronel, a Senior Software Engineer at Slack, speaker, and mentor passionate about building intuitive, high-impact experiences that help millions of people get work done efficiently. A proud Peruvian-American and Corgi mom based in the Bay Area, I love scuba diving, laughing with my partner Andrew, and unwinding with a good Netflix binge.
