SeniorLeyla Becker is a self-taught Senior Software Engineer in Minneapolis with nine years of hands-on experience building full-stack applications and tooling.

She spends much of her free time developing open-source projects and experimenting with home lab infrastructure, maintaining both a GitHub and a self-hosted Forgejo instance.
