About me

Marian Mosley began her career in the defense industry developing software and hardware for automated testing of weapon, radar and guidance systems and writing code to monitor and configure communications satellites. Based in the New York metropolitan area, Marian became a developer in the Wall Street financial information services sector, leading the effort to migrate Dow Jones Telerate’s legacy news processing system, written in assembler, to a Unix platform. As a New York City Teaching Fellow, Marian developed and taught courses in mathematics, programming and physics in the New York City public school system, where she came to appreciate firsthand the value of hands-on learning. After signing up for the UC BerkeleyX’s Engineering Software as a Service 169.1x and 169.2x courses, Marian fell in love with Ruby on Rails and has embraced Agile methodologies and pair programming with enthusiasm. She is a huge fan of open courseware and has been a teaching assistant for both SaaS courses. Marian is currently committed to open-source development and is a regular contributor to Agile Ventures projects. Marian is an alumna of Manhattan College School of Engineering, with Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering (Stevens Institute of Technology) and Mathematics Education (The City University of New York).
