Hellooo! My name is Jenny and I am an Open Source Applications Engineer at 2i2c, a US-based non-profit that provides a global network of interactive computing platforms for research and education communities. I primarily support folks with getting the most out of cloud-native workflows through building user-centered applications that integrate open source technologies. I am passionate about democratising access to large-scale, scientific cyberinfrastructure and love using my deep technical skills and my friendly communication skills to bridge together technology and people.
Some of the things I get up to include:
Providing frontline and second-line support for communities, including triage, JupyterHub administration, events management and collecting product insights to improve user experience.
Front-end development of the FRX challenges open-source project using Django, and managing deployment for the HHMI CellMap Challenge with Kubernetes.
Continuously updating the 2i2c Service Guide and developing the main 2i2c.org Hugo website, as well as contributing documentation to upstream open-source projects.
Leading community engagement and outreach activities, such as hackathons to upstream contributions to MyST-MD, delivering training courses and speaking at conferences.
Developing community-based training materials for cloud-native, interactive computing workflows as part of the Catalyst Project, a large and complex multi-stakeholder collaboration in service of communities in the Global South.
Implementing localisation CI/CD workflows with Jupyter Book and Crowdin for the Hub Champion Training and NASA TOPST: ScienceCore curricula.
Managing and executing a communications strategy, including writing blog posts, running social media campaigns and tracking engagement analytics.
My scientific background is in mathematics, with a special interest in geophysical fluid dynamics. I obtained a PhD in the subject with my thesis entitled “A slurry model of the F-layer in the Earth’s core”.
This website contains a short bio about me, as well as a collection of talks and content related to my open-source projects.
