About Naomi

Passionate technologist dedicated to building inclusive tech communities and empowering individuals to break into the field. With a rich background in community management, software engineering, and developer experience, I strive to create accessible pathways for diverse talent.

My expertise spans:

• Inclusive Community Building: Cultivated welcoming communities of 20,000 to 300K+ members across Discord, Slack, and GitHub, with a focus on supporting underrepresented groups in tech.
• Empowering Education: Contributed to and maintained open-source curricula used by millions of aspiring developers globally, focusing on accessibility and engaging learning experiences.
• Software Engineering for Inclusivity: Developed sophisticated bots and tools that not only streamline moderation and boost engagement but also promote safe, inclusive spaces for all community members.
• Developer Experience (DX): Led initiatives to improve documentation, SDK support, and overall developer satisfaction, with an emphasis on making resources accessible to newcomers in the field.
• Mentorship and Advocacy: Implemented programs to support aspiring developers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, in their journey into tech careers.

Key achievements include redesigning freeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design curriculum for greater accessibility, developing AI-powered community management tools that foster inclusive interactions, and creating engagement systems that significantly increased participation from diverse user groups.

I'm driven by the belief that technology should be a field open to all. My approach combines technical expertise with a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, resulting in solutions that not only drive engagement and innovation but also break down barriers to entry in tech.
