Software developer; sorceress of technological shenanigans
Iām Eva (sometimes going by Lauren), a software engineer, frontend designer, and all-round sorceress of technological shenanigans currently based in Cardiff, Wales.
My pronouns are she/they (š«š· elle/elle; š“ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó æ ei/hi) and my main interests lie in web technologies, both new and old, as well as in multimedia, networking, and graphic design.
In my free time, I work on a variety of projects and volunteer with Trans Tech Tent, a small local non-profit fighting digital poverty in the trans community.
Or, alternatively, find me elsewhere online:
