Work Experience
Pursuit . Season
Jul 2023 - Present . 2 yrs 1 mo
Student Fellow
Pursuit.org gave me an opportunity to ideate into a world of tech that I never felt I had an official “in” into before. After going through their application process, I said to myself, if I do get accepted (which I did), my goal would be to figure out how do I merge my previous experience as a writer/blogger/music curator, with all that Pursuit has to offer. I’m Marlon Regis, a full-stack web developer, and I hope to make an impact in the future of tech!
