I am making the world better by doing difficult but important things, like promoting diversity and inclusivity to make tech more accessible to women, people in the LGBT spectrum, and other underrepresented populations.
I’m a cofounder of LGBTech which strives to make workplaces more safe and welcoming to LGBT technology professionals.
I launched https://www.os4w.org/ in 2014 to help women in technology find open source projects that are welcoming and inclusive.
I created the http://contributor-covenant.org/ to allow open source maintainers to announce and enforce openness and inclusivity in their projects.
In my free time I mentor new developers, speak at conferences and local events, and write for my upcoming book.
I started my gender transition in March of 2014. I am very public about my journey in the hopes that I can make the way easier for those who come after me. My recurring transition-related medical expenses are over $400 a month, of which my health insurance covers $0.
