Katie McLaughlin
Katie (@glasnt) has worn many different hats over the years. She has been a software developer for many languages, systems administrator for multiple operating systems, and speaker on many different topics.
She has been a Director of the Django Software Foundation, organised PyCon Australia and DjangoCon Australia, and was a recipient of the O'Reilly Open Source Award in 2017.
With an eclectic background covering far closer two decades in the technology industry than she'd care to admit, she's currently a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Google Cloud, focused on helping Django and Python developers with their managed infrastructure.
When she’s not changing the world, she enjoys cooking, making tapestries, and seeing just how well various application stacks handle emoji.
