Company Spotlight


For over a decade, Ascend has worked closely with The Walt Disney Company to support their API workforce through tailored programs and forums, and providing membership benefits to their employees.

I am grateful for all Ascend programs that bring API professionals together. These are opportunities for sharing, collaborating, and supporting.
