Hi, I'm Rin!

I'm a non-binary, neurodiverse writer, journalist, producer, speaker, community evangelist, DIY hobbyist, animal lover and candlestick maker (no, really!).

Chances are you've seen me at KubeCon, or on Twitter! Hi! It's nice to meet you..

My five year goal list

Write a successful webcomic
Build something that helps neurodivergent folks
Run at least three races for charity
Learn to play two new instruments

I spent four years in new Zealand with my wife, and I absolutely love to travel and meet new people. I am an LGBTQ+ rights and neurodiversity advocate, and I use they/them pronouns.

This is a photo of Rin at KubeCon. They are wearing a KubeCon shirt, and have headphones on. They have teal hair and wear glasses.

Experience

Work Experience

I've worked with many awesome companies such as The New Stack, Mozilla, Armory.io, GitLab, Forbes, Kubernetes & Netflix.

Public Speaking

I absolutely love public speaking, teaching others at exciting events, and meeting lots of new people.

Published Work

Writing is my passion. Here you can find many of my published works spanning multiple topics and technologies.

Volunteering

As a member of multiple minority groups and a lover of open source, it's important to me that I support my peers and help others. I have volunteered specifically with LGBTQ+ youth groups, neurodivergent workshops and open source technology projects.
