Her background spans fintech, payments (MONEI), and government platforms, and she has hands-on experience improving test coverage and QA for widely used open-source connectors like the Shopify Node library. A founder-turned-senior engineer, she combines product-minded thinking with deep implementation skills and offers remote serverless consultancy.
