About Liz
Liz is a restless creative with a passion for good design, sound logic, and twisty tunes. She is a softwarre engineer by day and a folk cellist by night.
After completing her undergrad in Folk Cello at Berklee College of Music, she spent a year as an Fulbright Scholar studying Irish traditional music at University of Limerick. Upon the completion of her MA, she returned to the states and wrote The Irish Cello Book, published by Hal Leonard. She has recorded a dozen albums, performed throughout the United States and Europe, taught workshops and skype lessons to cellists from around the world, and composed a catalog of non-classical cello repertoire.
Liz's software engineering journey started as an experiment to update her music project website, then evolved, aided along the way by a bootcamp at DevMountain and hands on experience at a handfull of small software companies. Over the years, she has found a passion for good process, effective collaborative, creative problem solving, and clean code. She is currently a Director of Software Engineering at Fidelity Investments.
When she isn't coding or composing, she enjoys rock climbing, hosting concerts, and adventuring with her family.
