First day at Apple!
I’m joining the Swift Playgrounds Content team.
Obviously I can’t visit the office yet so here’s a photo of me back in 2011 when I was at WWDC. I wasn’t a full time iOS developer yet at that point, but knew I wanted to be! Didn’t dream I’d end up at Apple.
Having this entire window replaced today, which I'm pretty excited about. It's our only single glazed window, absolutely freezing in winter, and none of the windows open any more. Big job though as it's structural.

We’re in the paper 😀. Great to see this spread in @scotonsunday on the @InfraSisters. Our message is clear - Edinburgh must deliver night time cycling infra that’s safe for women and girls. We know many cllrs support this but there’s still a way to go to get 💯% of them.

Really cool role in my department just opened up in London - working on the documentation compiler. Huge opportunity for impact across Apple and with external developers. Let me know if you'd like more info or a referral.
