About Lynn

Lynn Root speaking

I’m an insomniac Staff Engineer for Spotify in New York City and the Chair of the Global Council of PyLadies. I’m the author of interrogate, the founder of the San Francisco Chapter of PyLadies, current fellow & former vice chair and board member of the Python Software Foundation, and member of the Django Software Foundation. I also teach Python for the Industrial Engineering & Operations Research department at Columbia University.

I have a business degree in finance & economics, and worked in banking for a few years before fell in love with programming in 2011. More on my journey about how I became a software engineer can be found in this post.

I like to speak, a lot. I mainly talk about my technical work in Python and my involvement in the Python community. Email me if you would like to make my talks list longer.

My projects can be found on GitHub.

Writings and thoughts on this site are my own.

Gratitude
#

I’m not paid for the time that goes into writing these articles, conference talks, maintaining interrogate, PyLadies & diversity work, and contributions to open source (outside of Spotify’s projects).

If you’ve found anything I’ve written, talked about, or done that was particularly helpful, I would greatly appreciate any monetary expression of gratitude: Ko-Fi, PayPal or Venmo.
