I’m a software engineer and career changer having worked for a decade in the arts industry before moving into the world of tech.I’m motivated by the impact the products I build have upon the communities they serve. I’m interested in working on products that have values of inclusion, democratisation and sustainability at their core. I’m here for the tough conversations and can be relied upon to ask ‘if’ we should build something not just ‘how’ it should be built.Currently, I work on a mobile application for Android and iOS called Milkshake. Milkshake is a beautiful and simple mobile website builder whose primary audience is young women who are creating, advocating and growing businesses on social media.My core technical skill set is building cross platform mobile applications using React Native and Typescript. Other technologies that I use in my everyday work include, Ruby and Rails, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Node, Firebase and Terraform. What I’m most interested in learning next is native iOS development, Swift and SwiftUI.As a career-changer I bring a diverse perspective to most of the technical teams I am a part of. A decade of leading creative and technical projects in the arts industry has given me an unusual skill set with excellent delivery leadership, facilitation and cross-disciplinary communication being key assets I bring to my team.
