I am a digital nomad, I lived, studied and worked in over 6 countries already, speak 2 languages fluently and 2 conversationally, plus bits and pieces of a few others! Hello, Salut, Buna, Hola, Bonjour!
I believe in having fun when learning, working or teaching! I am a Stemettes volunteer, codebar organizer, Google Digital Garage for Programmer mentor in Romania, GoodWorks volunteer, core lead of Ignite communities of practice, design and UX passionate, GitHub campus expert, BCS Lovelace winner in 2019, supporter of Guide dogs ( I love dogs ), lover of unicorns and software engineer, also a geek and in love with Pimoroni and Helen Leigh ( master maker)!! All in one :)
I live in Scotland, moved here in 2020! However, I was born and raised in Romania, made games in Barcelona at King, organized events in Bruxelles, published articles in Delhi, taught computer skills in Lusaka, studied around the UK and travelled to become a better person but also learn more about the amazing people on our planet!
Voice and conversations are my thing or were my thing, I like to learn all I can from building skills for voice for Google Assistant or Alexa, to building bots for Slack and Facebook, developing on bespoke platforms, creating engaging experiences and having fun with it, to analyzing sentence structures, entities, utterances and the lot. I have since moved on from being a cognitive dev/conversational designer, but now I create content strategy for public cloud!
