Benjamin Manning: 2026 PSF Board Election Candidate Interview

I'm Benjamin Manning, an engineer, educator, researcher, and lifelong learner who has spent much of my career working at the intersection of technology and people. I've worked across industry and higher education, building systems, teaching students, conducting research, and helping people become more confident using technologies that initially seemed out of reach. Python has been a constant thread through much of that work. I've used it in data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, engineering, research, and education, but some of my most meaningful experiences with Python have come from teaching and mentoring others.
