About

I'm the Head of Developer Experience at SixPivot, an Australian based consultancy specialising in .NET application development and cloud consulting. I work to redefine best people practices for software developers and advocate to build diverse teams. On a personal note, I moonlight as a b(break)-girl. I won a few Australian bgirl championships back in the day. Want to know more about SixPivot?
