Summary
🤩
RockstarJocelyn Turcotte is a Scala software engineer based in Berlin with 17 years of hands-on experience building reliable systems and debugging deep runtime issues. Currently at HERE Technologies, she combines curiosity and creativity to tackle technical challenges and understand complex systems end-to-end. Her open-source work spans native UI toolkits, Qt internals and embedded firmware—improving event loops, fixing memory lifecycle bugs, and bringing KeyEvent.repeat support across multiple backends in the Slint GUI toolkit. She has practical Windows and MinGW experience from Nextcloud desktop contributions and low-level Bluetooth/ADC fixes for nRF52 keyboard firmware, showing comfort across desktop, mobile and embedded stacks. Known for plumbing-level fixes rather than surface features, she excels at stabilizing frameworks and preventing subtle performance regressions.
