Laura is a manager at Travis Foundation and the organiser of Rails Girls Summer of Code – a 3-month scholarship program to support women and non-binary people in the Open Source community. With a background in the visual arts and a non-traditional career path, she landed in tech as a web developer somewhat by accident. Laura is passionate about making things, coaching at programming workshops, Open Source software, feminism, music and space (as in rockets).
She has spoken at several conferences, including Codeland (NYC, USA), ReasonConf (Vienna, Austria), Drupal Mountain Camp (Davos, Switzerland) and AlterConf (Berlin, Germany).
