Bio

Hello! I am Susanna. I am a software developer passionate about everything in the realms of JavaScript, Web Technologies and Machine Learning. I am currently a Senior Consultant in Front End Engineer at QuantumBlack, working on the domain of software development, data Visualisation and Machine Learning through my work as a core team member and contributor to the Kedro & Kedro-viz project. Over the past years I have helped build great web applications for both startups and big corporations - from foreign exchange systems for Fintech startups, news sites visited by millions at CNN, to building web application that shapes the future of Mobility at Toyota Connected. My professional work mainly allows me to work with JavaScript , building applications with React, Ember.js, GraphQL and node. I am particularly passionate about Front End Development and Design Systems. I also love to learn and experiment with code during my free time - currently I am extremely interested in the topics of Machine Learning, and have been experimenting with tensorflow.js in my personal projects. I have given talks about my learnings into Machine Learning as a Front End Developer in Full Stack Fest ( Barcelona 2018), Full Stack London ( London 2019) and Full Stack Europe (Antwerp 2019). My talk is accessible here in case you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcLZGfXKk8c I was an Architect and Computational Designer in my previous life, having utilised my engineering and computational background in helping a series of famous Architectural offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Europe realize their high profile projects using code. My talk during the Code Mesh Conference best summaries my work during that period of my career: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCGU8t-v1G4 I am a Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies since 2020, as well as a mentor in Google's Women Techmakers program.
