About Jessica KERR
Symmathesy is a learning system of learning parts. Jessica Kerr (jessitron) sees software teams this way: as developers, we change this learning system from within. Jessitron works on observability at Honeycomb.io.
Currently, she spends much of her time building symmathesies through Industrial Logic. She has worked at startups (Atomist, Stripe, Outpace) and enterprises (Ford, Bayer, Sprint). She’s programmed in and spoken at conferences about Java, Scala, Clojure, TypeScript, Ruby, and Elm.
Jess lives in St. Louis, MO with two children who invent worlds and draw characters with superpowers, and two cats who meow and knock over water glasses.
