I’m also part of the Drupal and WordPress communities, frequently speaking at events from local to international and generally spreading the sparklingrobots vibes. Never fear, my dev life is here.
Passionate, effective, and sparkly open source leader and community builder.
At Automattic, I'm leading a team focused on building a seamless, awesome developer experience for folks working with Gutenberg and WordPress. Previously, I led Pantheon's community team, where people from all parts of the web industry could network, get answers, and have a fun time doing it.
I advocate for marginalized people in open source communities via my leadership role in Drupal Diversity & Inclusion, and by participating in #WPDiversity.
