ABOUT ME

Physicist turned Mobile Engineer currently in Cincinnati, OH working at Atomic Robot.

I'm interested in making tech more accessible for more people. I love solving challenging problems, building beautiful and accessible Android apps with diverse and inclusive teams, and trying to lower the barrier of entry for aspiring developers.

I like exploring new libraries, features, and architectures and learning better ways to build Android projects and sharing my knowledge with the community.

FUN FACTS

On Fridays, I host Android office hours where I try to answer your most pressing Android questions.

I'm a co-author on this paper about stars✨.

I have an eclectic collection of accent chairs, glasses, and statement earrings.

NEW TO ANDROID?

That's great! You'll need to know a little Kotlin and Android. I recommend Google Code Labs, Udacity, and Ray Wenderlich to get started! But there are so many other great (free!) resources!

WHERE TO FIND ME

You can always find me hanging out in the Women Who Code Cincinnati Slack and the Women Who Code Mobile Slack. Join and say hi! Or you can follow me on Twitter. I occasionally make jokes about Android.
