My name is Nancy

I like hacking through software engineering problems and building solutions that improve software reliability. Over time, I’ve found myself equally drawn to breaking down complex technical concepts into easier, more accessible content—whether through blogs, videos, or talks.

I’ve worked in Developer Advocacy, which sits right at the intersection of the two things I love most: tech and education 💜. What truly excites me is bringing people along on the journey—from ideation to execution. I’m always looking for ways to use my skills to improve communication and foster understanding across teams and roles.

Right now, I’m deepening my focus in product management and developer relations, with the goal of helping bridge the gap between technology and its users.

On a more personal note: I’m incredibly thankful for everyone I’ve met through open source and the broader community ✨. I come from a non-CS background, and in many ways, open source has been my university. The people I’ve met—mentors, collaborators, friends—have taught me so much, and I continue to be inspired by their support and generosity. I always say that the community is the best part of tech, and I’ve never been wrong.

If I shift to my personal life—what I really love is traveling. I know a lot of people travel, but I feel like everyone has their own reason for it. For me, it’s about meeting new people, visiting new places and museums, learning about the history, art, and culture. I love trying local food, maybe even a drink from every country I visit. It honestly amazes me how much variety there is in the world, and yet there’s still so much more to explore. Traveling—especially being close to nature—is such a humbling experience. It reminds you how small you are in the grand scheme of things.

I’m also really into making digital illustrations and zines—it's something that brings me a lot of joy. Cycling is my favorite sport; it clears my head. And I’m always reading—mostly about psychology, new tech, politics, and how society is constantly changing.
