✨Hello beautiful human!✨

I’m Jenn Junod. I’m a Developer Advocate at Aiven committed to empowering developers and enhancing data infrastructure. Balancing my tech focus, I host Sh!t You Don't Want to Talk About, tackling complex topics like mental health and diversity.

Whether I’m solving problems through code, sharing knowledge with others, or sparking conversations on the show, I am a passionate advocate for social justice in the tech industry, striving to create inclusive spaces where everyone feels heard.


Listening to Sh!t You Don’t Want to Talk About is like eavesdropping into conversations you’ve been curious about, scared to have, or unsure why others would think that way.

I'm here to get the conversations started.

You're here to get uncomfortable.

It's your choice to be a part of the change.
