Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m a software-and-etc engineer in Portland, OR. The start of this blog was originally long-form commentary on Learn Python the Hard Way, and thenlong-form commentary on a Codecademy JavaScript class, but that’s been many years now. In the last few years my posting has been more sporadic, but as always, I’d like to do much more.

I’m an Operations engineer with a lot of love for Python. I was one of the organizers of the Portland chapter of PyLadies, an international group of women Python coders, and I also chaired (with a group of six) a small Python conference here in Portland. Now I try to write and speak for operations conferences and sites, and think about how I can get better at my job which I love, where I’ve been since October 2016.

You can reach me on the blog or at hello@rkode.com.
