I am a globally recognized expert in Python development and open sourcesoftware. As a board advisor and consultant, I guide early-stage organizations.and leadership teams in the complexities of open source governance, data science, AI,cloud, and Machine Learning. I am a core Python developer, three-time Pythonsteering council member, and Project Jupyter core contributor.My contributions to science, open source, and technology are felt far and wide: I havetransformed the way students learn with Jupyter notebooks; I’ve contributed andshared to countless open source projects such as AnitaB.org and CPython; I’veadvised many organizations in open source governance including Quansight Labs, CZIOpen Source, and pyOpenSci. I am the recipient of the ACM Software SystemAward (2017) and the Frank Willison Award for technical and community contributions toPython (2019). I’m a co-organizer of PyLadies San Diego and San DiegoPython User Group.Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for embracing opportunity, scaling knowledgethrough the power of community, and approaching every challenge with curiosity, empathy, andkindness. I have a track record of building high-performance teams, helping organizations graspthe complexities of cloud-native environments, and influencing others through mentorship. Ibelieve in the power of sharing, in the power of community. I also believe that through science,technology, and art, we can discover more about who we are as humans. I’m deeplycommitted to sharing my knowledge with others through stories that make the world oftechnology and science accessible and relatable—through five-minute mentor moments to akeynote on a global stage.When I am not coding or deep in research on data, AI, or cognitive science, you can find me inmy Southern California garden, surrounded by succulents, restoring an old guitar, or buildingblinky wearables.
