Vanita Barrett

I'm a Web Developer, based in London. I work as a Frontend Developer at Government Digital Service, helping make GOV.UK better for users.

I also write about my experiences working as a developer and being a woman in tech.

Occasionally, I pretend to be a web designer, photographer and baker. I live, love and code with Andy Smith, Software Engineering Team Lead at BBC iPlayer.

You can find me on LinkedIn and Twitter.
