At Compassionate Coding, we believe engineering is more than just code. It’s about people — how we communicate, collaborate, and lead with heart.

Founded by April Wensel, a seasoned software engineer and advocate for emotional intelligence in tech, Compassionate Coding offers tailored workshops designed to transform team dynamics. We help engineers and leaders build skills in compassionate communication, constructive feedback, and resilience — because thriving teams create better technology.

In a world where cynicism and burnout too often dominate tech culture, we’re here to lead differently. We invite you to join the movement toward a more humane, connected, and effective way of working.

Transform your team dynamics with tailored workshops that enhance communication, foster compassionate feedback, and build resilience against burnout.
