<aside> 👋 Hi, my name is Isabella. I'm a platform engineer.
I became a developer to help rescue puppies (no, really!) in 2015. Though, I built my first ever website in 2000 with just html and inline styles. It was an homage to Britney Spears and her lyrics (hey, I was only 10!). I vividly recall using fuchsia and aqua. I'm pretty sure my father purposefully didn't teach me how to host it - I'm relieved if somewhat disappointed.
My current role revolves heavily around kubernetes, terraform, Developer Experience tooling with Golang and stakeholder management.

✨ Real Crime Podcasts 🎤
I'm a Crime Junkie and I'm not afraid to admit it. Still not sure if I'm so obsessed with murder because I'm trying to work out how to get away with it or to prevent it from happening to me 🤷🏽♀️

✨ Twitch & Discord 👾
****I used to stream on twitch under my alter ego rawwwrs
My aim of being involved in the programming streaming community is to encourage (aspiring) developers to learn, grow and socialize, and I'm especially passionate about encouraging diversity and elevating the underrepresented 🧠
