My current role is Senior Producer at BBC Learning where I'm presently across the BBC's Media Literacy supertopic portal. During my 10 years at the BBC I've developed and produced many of the BBC's high priority sites and online activities.

I'm passionate about technology. I run a Women in Technology network for my colleagues with speakers, events and discussion on careers, training, raising your profile and encouraging women to look at careers in tech. I previously co-ran the BBC's developer network, BBC Backstage, I'm a hardware hacker, coder, artist, gamer and blogger.

I have been working with software since the early 80s. Initially using 8 bit processors before moving on to the 32 bit ARM processor at the end of the 80s. During this time I also used UNIX and VMS. I first used Linux in about 1995 which was when I returned to University to study for a Masters specialising in Machine Vision. I subsquently put together the first ARM Linux distribution. I have worked in embedded software, application software, client/server and comms. I have been active in the FOSS community off and on since then.
