Can you tell us a little about yourself (hobbies, education, etc):

I love to bake and cook, so my Twitter feed tends to be full of various bread pictures or whatever dish I've whipped up over the weekend. When I was a kid, I was completely hooked on the cooking channel — my favorite shows were "Iron Chef" and "Good Eats" — and I thought I'd become a chef when I grew up. That's my back up plan if I ever drop out of tech!

Can you tell us a little about yourself (hobbies, education, etc.)?:

Hmmm…I have been told that I’m a bit eclectic. So let’s start with the basics. In my day-to-day gig I am a proud member of GitHub’s software intelligence systems team as a data engineer. In my extra hours I do such things as co-organize PyLadies Chicago and serve as a Director for the Python Software Foundation.
