Hi there 😊

I'm Carol Willing (she/her), and I'm a Python Core Developer, a three-time Python Steering Council member, PSF Fellow, and a Project Jupyter core contributor.

I was interested in doing it, there was an opportunity, so I just did it.

— Barbara Liskov

I'm also a leader in open science and open-source governance. I'm driven to make open science accessible through open tools and learning materials.

• 2017 ACM Software System Award for Project Jupyter's lasting influence
• 2019 Frank Willison Award for technical and community contributions to Python

I enjoy speaking about Python, Jupyter notebooks, scaling reproducible research, learning, open source governance, cognitive science, and the intersection of technology and society. Check out my speakerdeck and youtube channel.

I'm grateful for PyLadies and the impact it has had on my life.

🌊 When I'm not coding, mentoring, or teaching, I enjoy exploring the tide pools and finding 🐙 🐚 creatures 🦦.
