Projects of Note:

I've published a textbook for kids in grades 6-8, published by Wiley, entitled Computer Science for Kids. It is alighted to CSTA standards and has a fun, game-driven storyline with bespoke print illustrations. Follow this project here and consider purchasing the book for the cool middle-schooler in your life!

Forthcoming in December 2023 is my latest book, The Illustrated AWS Cloud, a visually-guided story-led approach to learning the fundamentals of Cloud Computing using AWS. Check out its web site here. All the author's proceeds from this book will go to Code To Inspire, a program helping women in Afghanistan learn to code.

Some fun facts:

✨ I am Head of Academic Advocacy at AWS.

✨ I worked at Microsoft for several years, co-leading the Academic Team in DevRel among other activities. I've also worked in nonprofits, small startups, and medium sized companies.

✨ I've written some amazing curricula while at my time at Microsoft that ranks very high on GitHub and has millions of views. It's not in the shape I left it, but if you'd like to see it as I originally designed it, with images intact, a fork is here. This is how this curriculum was designed and should look. I also kept copies of the ML, AI, IoT and Data Science curricula which you can find here as well.

✨ I teach occasionally at Boston University's Metropolitan School in the CS department.

✨ I have over 23 years' experience as a web and mobile developer, specializing in creating cross-platform mobile and web apps.

✨ I enjoy using machine learning solutions within a mobile and web context (applied ML).

✨ Mostly these days I build with Vue.js and Astro.

✨ I live in Wellesley, Massachusetts (USA) with my husband and am an empty nester with two adult daughters

colorslider-plugin's Issues

ios: Make color choice bubble up to frontend of app

Currently, the colorslider traps (and is console.logged) the color being chosen by the user, which is good. However, we need to demonstrate how that value bubbles up in usable format to the frontend, using the colorChange function in main-page.ts. I think there need to be a listener added before we notify the owner of the color selected.
