About Me

Hello! I'm Angela Holden, a software engineer in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I've spent over a decade writing code, mentoring developers and solving problems. I like to teach, and create tools and content that help others learn. My focus is always practice as much as possible, and build more projects.

Melanie Little

Attorney Melanie Little is a retired civil litigator in New York state. She has the smartest, funniest chat on YouTube. She runs a tight ship, and I draw a lot of inspiration from her. Melanie's coverage of both Karen Read trials was excellent.

Andrea Burkhart

Andrea Burkhart is a criminal defense attorney in Washington state. She is the most insightful of all LawTubers, in my opinion. Andrea specializes in appellate law and has completely changed my attitude about criminal defense in the U.S.
