She favors pragmatic, agile delivery and asks pointed questions of opportunities (tech stack, responsibilities, D&I, compensation, benefits) to ensure strong mutual fit. A University of Toronto computer science graduate, she brings a long track record of improving usability details and developer workflows that often go unnoticed until they break.
