I have been coding in some form or another since high school (and no, I won't tell you how long ago that was).
You can find me on GitHub and Twitter as shimmoril.
I live in Winnipeg, MB, which has been colder than Mars at times during the last two winters, so that's fun.
I work for Neovation, where our primary product is a Learning Management System (LMS) called SmarterU. As the Team Lead of Application Development, I'm responsible for managing the development, UI/UX and QA teams. I am also extensively involved in the requirement gathering, planning and support of our products, including performing research, analysis and providing recommendations to key stackholders.
I mostly program in these languages: Javascript/jQuery, node.js, React, Typescript and Coldfusion (I KNOW).
I am currently learning more about accessibility (a11y) and internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n).
Glad to be part of the community!

Hey Ashleigh! I've been learning more about accessibility too.
I found this article super interesting: dev.to/_bigblind/how-to-make-your-...
and then tried to write my own article 😳 dev.to/jess/accessibility-audits-a...
I read both of those! Yours was particularly interesting for me, since I'm a die-hard Firefox user, but I may need to switch, since those a11y tools are so great.
Well, fwiw, I mainly use (stable) Chrome but switch to Canary when I need the additional tools. So I think you can still stay a die-hard Firefox user 🙃
Maaaaaybe, lol.
I usually have both up any way, it's more of a philosophical thing. Really I just want Firefox to have all the cool stuff too!
😆
