    I build inclusive communities


I am a software developer based in the wilds of suburban Chicago, working on the Deis Labs team within Microsoft Azure. My passion is developer tools, and building vibrant inclusive open-source communities around them.

I am a maintainer for Porter and the Cloud Native Application Bundle (CNAB) Specification. I run Women Who Go and am a tech lead for CNCF Contributor Strategy.

In between code reviews, I haul my cookies around the world to share my love of Go, containers, and excessive emoji. 🌈 ✨
