Bio
Hey y'all, I'm Emma! I'm a Software Engineer at Spotify in Stockholm, Sweden. Born and raised in Red Hook, New York I moved down to Austin, Texas after college to join IBM as a Software Engineer. I worked on Quantum Computing, Linux on Power Developer Portal, IBM Support, and Spectrum Control for three years before uprooting my two kitties and moving to Germany. I worked in Karlsruhe, Germany on GoToMeeting for two and a half years before I moved to Stockholm this July to begin my dream job at Spotify! In my spare time I create courses for Frontend Masters and LinkedIn Learning. I podcast for the Ladybug Podcast and JSParty. And I blog on my personal blog Compiled.
