Eva Kelly

Freelance software developer; sorceress of technological shenanigans

Iā€™m Eva (sometimes going by Lauren), a software engineer, frontend designer, and all-round sorceress of technological shenanigans currently based in Cardiff, Wales.

My pronouns are she/they (šŸ‡«šŸ‡· elle/elle; šŸ“󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳ó æ ei/hi) and my main interests lie in web technologies, both new and old, as well as in multimedia, networking, and graphic design.

In my free time, I work on a variety of projects and volunteer with Trans Tech Tent, a small local non-profit fighting digital poverty in the trans community.
