Jasna Rodulfa-Blemberg
I am a software engineer on a growing Machine Learning Orchestration team at Etsy, where we work with the Twitter stack and, increasingly, the Cats + Cats Effect stack in distributed systems. I am self-taught, having majored in the humanities and stumbling into software engineering when a recruiter gave me a chance from seeing coding as my hobby. In my professional career I started developing in PHP and JavaScript, moved to full stack with Java, and since 2017, have transitioned full-time to the backend with Scala. In my free time, I love playing video games and board games, reading and watching sci-fi stories, traveling, staying fit, cooking for loved ones, and trying different restaurants, I also joined the Typelevel Steering Committee in 2022 and am NEScala's 2023 DEIB Safety Team lead. I am based in the Washington, DC, USA area and live happily with my spouse.
