Darin is a software engineer with Code.org, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in schools and increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups. Since his first hack in 2016, Darin found joy in far more than developing software. The opportunities to work with skilled local people, teach and learn new technologies, and to discover the passions of the non-profit participants bring him back every year. Beyond dsmHack, Darin is the Assistant Technical Director for Valley High School in West Des Moines, a member of the Comedy Xperiment improv troupe, and a circus instructor and performer at Cirque Wonderland in West Des Moines.
