Hello 👩💻 I am a software developer and manager.
Things to know about me
- I am currently a Development Manager at Shopify where I manage teams working on Payments. It's fun! I do a lot of people management here as I have a large team, but also have the chance to jump in and write a bit of Ruby on occasion/do code review as well. (2020-present)
- Previously:
- (2018-2020) Director of Engineering Flow - Don't be fooled by the fancy title, it's a small company. Managed two front end devs and two back end devs. Also acted as front end technical lead and did IC (individual contributor) work.
- (2015-2018) Team Lead at Flow - People management/technical leadership/IC work writing JavaScript
- (2013-2015) Developer at Flow - JavaScript (react, backbone, webpack, redux) - Flow is a single page web app so it was very front end heavy.
- (2012-2013) Developer at Ballpark - Small team, rails app, I was the only front end dev. Lots of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. A bit of Ruby but not much. I probably made a huge mess as I was still very junior!
- (2011-2012) Junior Developer at Atomic Crayon - C# with ASP.NET, some PHP. Lots of random client work making small websites and apps.
- (2010) Intern Developer at BC Parks - Front end work on the BC Parks website.
- I studied Computer Systems Technology, a two year diploma program, at Camosun College (2009-2011)
- I was a hobbiest web developer/small app developer throughout my teen years before deciding to pursue a career in software.
- I am a mom! I have two young children. I also have a dog and a partner. My life is pretty busy.
- I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
