Hi, I’m Laura, a fullstack software engineer living in the San Francisco Bay Area

Bio
I spent the first half of my career in education, teaching Middle School and High School English. I caught the 
technology bug early on when laptops started showing up in the classroom. I taught myself 
to code when my school needed a Computer Science teacher and after that, I was full-on addicted to code. I’m currently a 
student in Bloc’s Web Development Apprenticeship program.

To me, code is one of the most beautiful (and almost spiritual!) expressions of human ingenuity. I am awed and humbled 
by how the human brain can compose and transcribe abstract symbols capable of effecting so much growth and change in our 
civilization. Just. Wow. I’m eager to connect with other people and organizations putting the “code-wow’ factor to work 
towards the betterment of humanity. Contact me here: hello@lwebber.dev.

Outside of my life as a coder, I’m a semi-professional actress in the Bay Area and have considerable experience with 
mindfulness meditation, organizational development coaching, cooking, and outdoor adventures.
