Speaking Engagements
I'm a software engineer who enjoys sharing my expertise with other developers and providing resources to make contributing to open-source more approachable. I have spoken about various Jamstack technologies such as React, MDX, GraphQL, Git/GitHub in various formats including in-depth workshops, conference talks, podcasts and screencasts.
In 2020, I was selected to be an inaugural GitHub Star 🌟 based on my involvement in the tech community. My interest in the React ecosystem in particular led me to launch React Ladies, a community for women and non-binary ReactJS developers.
Interesting in having me speak at an upcoming event or workshop? Send me a message.
