I'm Meredyth

Other Things
When I'm not writing code, I'm usually doing something with my hands or my community. I teach baking classes, run a hiking club I started from scratch, and have been known to build things - a pantry shelf here, a screen door there. I've taken up trail running and trained for a half marathon (with more on the horizon). My yard is an ongoing project to attract every bird and chipmunk in the neighborhood. And on days off, you'll likely find me dragging friends to try something new around the city.
A lot of what I do outside of work involves making something - baking, embroidery, the occasional woodworking project. I like starting with raw materials and ending up with something that didn't exist before. It turns out that's also why I like writing code.
