About Jenise A.

I began my career in public relations in Silicon Valley, then worked in community operations before earning a Computer Science degree and transitioning into software engineering in 2017.That pivot changed how I think about work, confidence, and freedom. It showed me that tech rewards people who want to build options, not just follow a linear path.Since then, I’ve spent 9+ years building and shipping front-end products in React and TypeScript across Spotify and Priceline, and working closely with customers through consulting at Stride. Along the way, I learned that career security is not about titles or companies. It is about leverage and judgment.Today, I’m intentionally unbundling my career into a mix of active and passive work and building what I think of as a portfolio career- I build services and resources that help women break into tech- Write The Income Portfolio, a newsletter on building income outside your primary job- Co-founded ¿Qué Lo Tech, a community supporting Dominican women in tech.I’m experimenting in public with what it looks like to build income streams alongside traditional employment, without burnout, perfectionism, or unnecessary risk.My long-term vision is for The Income Portfolio to become the go-to resource for tech workers who want to turn their most valuable career years into multiple income streams through skill leverage and thoughtful experimentation.If you’re a tech professional thinking more seriously about building income outside your job:→ Follow me here on LinkedIn→ Subscribe to my weekly newsletter: https://theincomeportfolio.beehiiv.com/
