Girl Code

In 2015 I decided to combine my background in new media studies, gender studies, feminism and my passion for tech by founding Girl Code.

Professional coders aren’t necessarily male. That is what I see as an undeniable fact, but also as a statement I want to enforce in the real world. Girl Code is my initiative I run with Katja to inspire women to get into code and to raise awareness of the gender gap in tech. We think the world of software engineering can only benefit from having more women on board and creating a more diverse field. We hope you’ll join us in making this difference.

I organize Girl Code events and give talks. You can find my blogposts on some of the Girl Code events under the category: Girl Code.
