Ash (pronouns they/them) is excited to re-join CfA as an engineer. They’ve spent 2 and a half years on GetCalFresh, and a few months over the summer as a part-time contractor. Previous to Code for America, they were a consultant software engineer at ThoughtWorks, working on multiple projects including some odd ones in IoT. They also worked as a product-focused engineer at Opower, a partner of PG&E, encouraging users to reduce their energy usage. Ash has lived in Oakland a little over 6 years with their two cats, most recently residing east of the lake.
