Hi! I'm Joanne!

I'm an experienced software engineer who has helped ship products across several industries such as insurance, healthcare, business analytics, and energy management. I love functional programming and working with others to find elegant, dependable solutions to complex problems.

I'm currently based in Belgium (near Leuven), and I'd love to meet other tech people in the area! Please feel free to email me if you'd like to chat!
