👋 Hi, I’m Iona and I'm always happy to meet new people so feel free to connect on Linkedin especially if you're in the Tech For Good ✨ sphere!

😎 I'm a graduate from School of Code which is where I learned Javascript and was introduced to Typescript and React. It's also where I met an incredible and diverse group of career changers and creative problem solvers.

🦩 I'm currently working with Ruby on Rails which I taught myself and I like to use TailwindCSS to make my projects look good.

🧜‍♀️ I'm delighted to be bringing my Environmental Science and Project Management background to software development by working on Salty Swimming which is all about elusive coastal pools and uses interactive mapping software from Mapbox and tidal data from the Admiralty API to forecast them.

🐘 I use PostgreSQL for database work and have dabbled with pure SQL but enjoy the experience of an ORM.

🦋 I'm part of the small volunteer team at ADHD UK where the new discovery platform can help many thousands of people access information to improve their lives. This is the power of tech for good!

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 I'm a Brit who lives in France and works remotely.

🌊 Other passions include 🪲 insects, 🪂 paragliding, 🧶 crochet, 🚵‍♀️ cycling, 💦 rockpools, 🎹 piano and the over-use of emojis 🦆 and hyperlinks 🦄
