Working with Umbraco

At Diagram, my technical QA work spans requirements, testing and release planning, accessibility, and client training. My front-end development work at DiscoverTec included turning designs into Umbraco sites, shaping document types and views, and teaching clients how to manage their content.

As board secretary for the Umbraco US Foundation, I’ve helped plan the US Festival, coordinate speakers and logistics, and facilitate discussions that bring people from different parts of the community together.
