My name is Brittney Postma. I am a Developer Experience Engineer at Netlify. That basically means I get to do a lot of fun content around the Jamstack while still coding and building things. I am the founder of the Svelte Sirens, a society for women, non-binary people, and allies to learn, build, and teach about Svelte.I co-host the Svelte Radio, Remotely Interesting, and Purrfect.Dev podcast. I also work with CodingCat.dev to create tutorials and courses. I love helping people in the community and empowering those that don't have a voice to find their place in the tech industry.

Erika started her career in the non-profit sector as a research scientist for hospitals and schools, where she developed an interest in using data to build empowering and collaborative tools. In this industry, she found that most projects needed a software component to translate her research findings into actionable information. This inspired her to pursue an education and career in software engineering so that she could not only assess and analyze the needs of a community, but also build accessible and interactive tools that address these needs. As an engineer, she has worked with companies that help users create and share data, and she hopes to continue writing software that supports scientists and researchers in addressing population needs.

Erika has earned a Master's Degree in Applied Social Research from the City University of New York and a fellowship in Web Development from Fullstack Academy of Code. She currently lives in New York City
