Hi! 👋 I'm a Canadian expat living in Bergen, Norway. My academic background is a bit of a patchwork quilt, with swatches drawn from philosophy, logic, mathematics, linguistics, informatics, English literature, and psychology. Before that, I studied in the visual arts track at a Franco-Ontarian arts magnet high school. Professionally speaking, I am into matters revolving around formalisms, visual design, methodology, improvement, team wellbeing -- and wherever these intersect.
I love colours, powerlifting, parrots, aroid plants, early analytic philosophy, version control, cycling, nail polish, CSS, making and consuming food, making and consuming music, and Amsterdam. 🥰
I've been working at Equinor since 2023 and am currently working within its Software Engineering Enabling Team as a frontend specialist. With Equinor's support, I have partnered up with other frontenders in Bergen to organize events for our local frontend community, Frontiers Bergen. If you live in Norway, check us out! 😄
Before life at Equinor, I worked as a UX Engineer and Agile Coach at the Centre for Quality Improvement in Clinical Practices (SKIL). I also worked as a developer at Knowit Experience Bergen and Vizrt. While at Knowit, I created the Frontiers Guidelines: an open-source front-end development guidelines template, inspired by Brad Frost's guidelines questionnaire. You can check out the Frontiers Guidelines project on GitHub.
I'm really fond of taking in and giving talks about all aspects of life in teams at work. If that's your jam, too, you might want to check out my talks: Make Yourself at Home and Art and Method between Scylla and Charybdis.
Speaking of Art and Method: I've also started a small nail polish art project that goes by that name. More on that later this year! 💅
