Katie (@glasnt) has worn many different hats over the years. She has been a software developer for many languages, systems administrator for multiple operating systems, and speaker on many different topics.

She is a PSF Fellow, former director of the Django Software Foundation, and co-organised DjangoCon AU 2017.

When she’s not changing the world, she enjoys cooking, making tapestries, and seeing just how well various application stacks handle emoji.
