Gail Ollis

After two decades as a software developer, Gail eventually she became so obsessed with human aspects of the job that she began talking about them at tech conferences. She left the day job for a psychology degree, followed by PhD research in psychology of software development.
Sharing knowledge is the new day job in an accidental second career as an academic. Gail has taught programming and cyberpsychology, researched cyber security for software developers, and now has fun teaching problem solving and software engineering to final year students at the University of Portsmouth.
