Driving Human-Centred Technology & Community Development
I work across technology, education and community, from first experiences with code through to industry and professional communities, to give everyone a chance to solve problems with tech and give tech a chance to solve everyone’s problems.
A representative tech-future is built by a diverse tech-team!
I want more people to feel that technology is something they can be part of.
When people with different experiences have the opportunity to learn, contribute and lead, we build better ideas, stronger communities and technology that works for more of us.
