Mar Doig is an Engineering Education Lead with 10 years’ experience transitioning from law into software engineering and technical education. Based in Edinburgh, she builds and runs immersive bootcamps, designs curricula informed by industry needs, and has a track record of improving student outcomes and instructor support through practical assessment and interview processes. Hands-on as a former software engineer, she has driven product improvements—from scalable component redesigns with feature flags to onboarding flows and automated content generation—that reduced manual work and increased conversion. She’s comfortable learning new technologies quickly to troubleshoot student projects or production incidents, and she’s proactive about emerging tools, having led a research group to assess ChatGPT’s impact on teaching. Her background in law and journalism adds strong communication, documentation and stakeholder-management skills that help bridge technical and non-technical teams.
