Origin Stories #20 - Chris Conner - iOS Engineer @ VRBO

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with long-time community member and fellow iOS Engineer, Chris Conner. Chris has a very unique origin story since he transitioned from a Product Manager to an iOS Engineer, not only at the same company, but on the same team as well. I wanted to have Chris on the show to share his story to maybe give some inspiration to those out there that are in one position at a company, but really want to become an iOS Engineer. Hope you enjoy!

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.
