Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLouise Blue is a software engineer with 10 years' experience building web applications and APIs, currently contributing at Gerry from her base in Oamaru, New Zealand. She moved from design into development via Enspiral Dev Academy, bringing a strong product sensibility and front-end experience (Aurelia.js work noted) alongside backend and API support roles. Past roles at Ackama/Rabid Technologies and the NZ Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment show a track record of shipping practical solutions in both agency and government contexts. Louise pairs a design-first mindset from a BA in Design with modern web development skills, making her especially effective at turning UX concepts into reliable implementation. She has a habit of bridging disciplines—designer-turned-developer—that helps teams communicate across product, design, and engineering. Currently not available for work, she remains engaged in continuous learning (completed Yale’s The Science of Well-Being) which informs her collaborative approach.
