Keira Paterson is a Django developer and co-founder of eConvenor.org and is passionate about diversity, equity, sustainability and empathy in technology. Motivated by a desire to see automated tools improving the effectiveness of community organizers, Keira taught herself to code building eConvenor with her partner in 2012. In 2017 she made the jump into web development as a career, while continuing to develop and manage eConvenor. Prior to development, Keira gained 10 years experience in people-focused work, as a trade union organizer, a political volunteer coordinator, staff manager and policy process manager. She now works in her spare time to bring these two worlds together - teaching people stuff to computer-people, and computer stuff to people-people in hopes of a more secure, equitable tech future.
