Siobhan first entered the tech industry in 2017, as the Community Manager for a social enterprise aiming to get more women into careers in tech. Whilst there she scaled their community offering to almost triple its size - delivering over 200 activities across the UK including free coding courses.

She left this role in 2018 to pursue a coding internship through Black Girl Tech and 8th Light, which was instrumental in preparing her for her current role in software engineering.

In her own time, Siobhan is part of the Leadership Team for Coding Black Females, a non-profit which supports Black females aspiring to and/or working in tech. She is also actively questioning how to blend her interests in art, philosophy and coding.

When not doing that, she’s been escaping to her local park and woodlands for long solo walks in an attempt to combat her lockdown weight gain!

Dale Dowdie was a hacker in High School. His Computer class teacher felt there were better uses for his talent and he ended up as the first High School Student to be hired by NASA at Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt MD - working on predictive modeling for storm tracking. Afterwards Mr Dowdie went to Boston University to study computer Engineering. While still in College Mr Dowdie started the first of his companies delivering training and network integration services to the fledgling computer revolution.

Mr. Dowdie founded Intellitech Consulting Enterprises in 1993, which was the 3rd company he had started. The goal of Intellitech is to provide intelligent technology solutions for business and educational institutions. Over the past 20 years, Intellitech has provided Software Development, Management/IT Consulting, Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity and Consulting Services for organizations, banks and institutions including Liberty Mutual Insurance, Citizens Bank, TJX Companies, Staples and McCormick, to the Government of St. Lucia and Harvard University. Intellitech has also developed a core vertical market software development team that designs industry specific web/mobile enabled solutions.

One such Solution is BlackFacts.com. Blackfacts is the brain-child of longtime friend and collaborator Ken Granderson, and over the past 20 years it has been running and providing historical facts-of-the-day to our community. Mr. Dowdie was brought in early on to help husband the idea to the next level. However, for years the site remained just a source of black history facts, and in time it grew to be the #1 source for Black Facts on the internet. That all changed in 2017, as Mr. Dowdie and Mr. Granderson finally gave the project the focus it deserved and thus began the process of turning Blackfacts.com from just a historical reference site for Black History into the 'Black Wikipedia' and a showcase of the cultural contributions of people of color and a showcase of the type of technology solutions that can be provided by and to people of color. Those efforts can be seen in this, the latest evolution of BlackFacts.com. There is so much that can be done with the platform, and we hope that you stick around to enjoy the journey with us...

As a leading edge business based in Boston, MA, Intellitech has a diverse staff of team members with the background and expertise to satisfy clients from around the world. “Human connection is not lost in the Internet, it is only expanded. Our solutions always keep that fact in mind and in the forefront of the minds of our customers.”

Daniel Pretz (he/him) is an artist, educator, and community leader with 15 years of professional experience working in residence life.

Après avoir terminé mes études d’art, je me suis naturellement orientée vers le digital. Dans le cadre de mes différentes expériences, j’ai rapidement compris que le volet esthétique et visuel des interfaces n’avait de sens que s’il était accompagné d’un réel travail sur l’expérience utilisateur. Dès lors, j’ai décidé d’ajouter à mes compétences d’UI designer et de directrice artistique, celle d’UX designer.
Par la suite, je me suis formée aux réflexions et démarches de design responsable avec un nouvel objectif : soutenir et accompagner les clients dans leur transition vers des interfaces plus éco-conçues, inclusives et accessibles à toustes.

Raised by radioactive raccoons in the forests of Eastern Tennessee, Scott Southworth fell in love with programming when confronted with the awesome power of a Commodore 64. After studying poetry and astrophysics at college, he belatedly realized that you can, in fact, get paid to develop software. His programming adventures have included industrial manufacturing and distribution (books and fridges with lasers, scales and RFID), digital signage, touch-screen kiosks, video games, data visualization and healthcare integration. A senior developer at HCA, he is currently focused on Elixir, a language from the future that is destined to create Skynet.
