About Me
My name is Beth. I'm a Senior Software Engineer, open-source contributor, and author. I started my first tech job interning at IBM aged 18, followed by studying BSc (Hons) Software Engineering at the University of Portsmouth. Since then, I've worked at companies like Seagate Technology (Xyratex), IBM, and Red Hat.
I've been active in the Node.js project and ecosystem since 2016, contributing to working groups, leading major releases, and serving on the Node.js Technical Steering Committee. Currently, I'm interested in software supply chain security and platform engineering.
IRL, I spend time with my husband and Rough Collie Laddie, listen to music, go to concerts, comedy shows, and play PS1 games. I have an allotment and enjoy DIY.
