@HiArnoldis and I had a fab time representing @BCS_Policy and @BCSPride at @PICTFOR's Diveristy and Inclusion Rally. The event was packed with amazing speakers, and was incredibly inspiring.
Was lovely to meet so many BCS peeps in person (finally!)

Pretty cool to join leaders and educators to speak today at the @PICTFOR rally on how the UK can remove barriers to a career in tech.

And at @Coadec we want to hear from *you* on the opportunities and blockers, good & bad, that you've seen in this space - let us know 📧
