Hello, I’m Isla.A developer in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I’m a full-stack software developer based in Christchurch, New Zealand. My commercial work spans sustainability reporting, aviation maintenance, equipment hire and community services.

I’ve worked across the layers that make a feature useful: the interface someone interacts with, the API behind it, the data it stores, and the tests and tooling that help keep it working.

Alongside that work, I make tools for music, games and translation. Outside software, there are cats, books and more games.
