Welcome!

I'm Sonia Connolly (she/her). Thanks for visiting!

I've been a software developer for 30+ years. Read more about my history and skills as a developer and some of the engineering practices I've learned along the way.

I'm currently happily employed at Nava PBC as a Senior/Lead Software Engineer, working remotely, helping to make government services simple, effective, and accessible to all.

I specialize in understanding and improving complex codebases that have been in use for enough years to accumulate dismaying technical debt. I love Ruby, Rails, refactoring, Test-Driven Development, pairing, and working with Agile teams.

Learn more about me as an author, dancer, bodyworker, and lifelong learner on the other websites I maintain.

My thanks to Lenny Wondra for pairing and initial css for this site.
