Sarah Bird

After a brief spell designing ejection seats for fighter jets, Sarah's career turned to applying technology to international development. She has worked in many sectors including mobile health and data collection in Pakistan, Peru, Haiti and elsewhere.

Having always dabbled in software in her spare time, in 2012 she gave in and became a full-time software developer. Sarah is now a full-stack web developer at Aptivate, a non-profit building IT solutions for the international development sector.
