About

Hi there 👋

I’m Jessica Tegner, a 26 year old software engineer from Denmark. I’ve been programming since I was around 10-11 and fell in love with it ever since, writing everything from game mods to websites, tools and APIs — with the latter being what I love the most.

I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and currently work as a software engineer at Be My Eyes. I also maintain pypandoc, a Python wrapper for Pandoc that has surpassed 14 million downloads and is used by teams at Adobe, Google, and Microsoft among others.

In 2023 I was selected for the first ever GitHub Accelerator program and did a summer internship at Uber. Since then I’ve spoken at Open Source Summit (2023 and 2024), PyCon US, and been featured on Hidden Figures of Python.

Want to help me do open source and public speaking full time?

If you want me to attend a conference, or want to get into contact with me,
