My name is Dawn, and my pronouns are "she" and "her".

I'm a software engineer living in London, UK, working for Spotify. You can read a little more about me in this 2019 article from our company engineering blog: A Day in the Life: Dawn James (Principal Engineer).

I'm also an advocate for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, especially in tech, and am proud to be a Code First Girls instructor.

• Stack Overflow: dawngerpony
• Codewars: dawngerpony

This isn't my CV or anything, but I'm a big fan of:

• microservices and distributed architecture
• evolutionary architecture
• event-driven architectures
• technical strategy

• My day job (private repositories unfortunately)
• 🐍 Contributing to the moto open source Python library

• Kotlin
• NodeJS / TypeScript

I have many repositories, but only a few of them currently contain anything of interest:

• auth0-nodejs-poc: playing around with OpenID Connect and NodeJS
• algorithms: learning various data structures and algorithms in Python and Java

I'm hoping to have more here soon 😉
