Emer has had a diverse career from training as a therapist specialising in chronic pain to software roles (QA, dev and engineering up to management level). Her growing interest is in how we use Big Data and AI.
She advocates that designing for the user and user experience is a necessity. From running her own therapy business, she started to get involved in WordPress from 2012 as a way to keep her tech interest happy.
After returning to IT for a few years, she realised it was time to make a choice, to continue doing what she loved or relocate for a job. She decided to turn to web development using WordPress full time in 2017.
She is currently ‘reinventing’ her tech business to capture the more human side of the digital dimension and creating digital micro ecosystems. She wants to focus solutions on harnessing human behaviour and systems rather than a websites with disconnected strategies.
