Welcome Kasia and Geoffrey to Django Girls Core team!
5 months ago we welcomed Ania and Baptiste, when we expanded the Django Girls Core team for the first time. At the time, we weren’t sure what was gonna happen next. Today we know it was the best decision we’ve made so far: Ania and Baptiste brought so much energy, humour, fun to our team, and made such a huge impact on everything we do.
With a huge excitement, today we are extremaly happy to welcome two more people to this small team: Kasia Kamińska and Geoffrey Sechter. I can’t wait to start working alongside them, and see the new and sparkly things we’re gonna build together.
Wanna meet them? I know you want to:
Kasia Kamińska
We met Kasia two years ago, when she volunteered to help us during DjangoCon Europe 2013 in Warsaw. Ever since, she has been the most positive, always smiling and inspiring person we got a chance to meet. Kasia is currently working on her PhD in bioinformatics and she uses Python to find a new drug against the flu. After hours, she also codes websites in Django. She helped run Makerland and organized two Django Girls events in Warsaw, one of them in a world breaking record of just one month. Kasia is an amazing friend & the most enthusiastic and energetic person we know. We couldn’t be happier to have her on board. ⚡️
Geoffrey Sechter
When Geoffrey volunteered to organize Django Girls in New York City, we weren’t sure if just one guy is enough to make it happen. He exceeded our wildest expectations, delivering the biggest and one of the very best workshops in Django Girls history. He is a person we know we can always rely on, and his work on Django Girls is always incredibly impressive. You may not know this about him, but Geoff is also incredibly good with words. Every time he says something, we all think: hey, this is exactly what I wanted to say, but you put it so well. Geoffrey works as a freelancer in New York City, where he also organizes a weekly Django hack night. He is already a perfect example of a person who embodies Django Girls spirit, and we can’t wait to see his influence on what we’re gonna do next. ✨
Wow. Still can’t believe how fortunate we are to be able to surround ourselves with people like that.
Hugs, ☀️ and 🌈,
Ola, Ania, Ola and Baptiste.
