Work & Community

Currently I work as a Senior Platform Engineer at Duolingo. I’m also a member of the feminist hackspace Heart of Code in Berlin.

From 2015 - 2019, I was one of the organisers of the ClojureBridge chapter in Berlin. ClojureBridge organises free coding workshops for women and non-binary people.

Previously (2017 - 2020) I was a platform & security engineer at Mapbox, and briefly in 2022 a security engineer at Klarna.

Before that, I was a Backend Engineer at Wunderlist - later acquired by Microsoft, working on the backend and infrastructure to power to-do lists syncing across devices.
