Elizabeth Groom

I have worked in software development since 2013; starting with c++ desktop APIs through today working in Azure APIs and Angular SPAs. I am passionate about about quality and team work. I believe the whole is much stronger than the individual pieces and that quality and security are everyone's concerns. I enjoy speaking at conferences and have presented multiple times at That, Iowa Code Camp, and Our Conference. I feel strongly that communities foster creativity which is the root of all future inventions. I founded the Dubuque .Net Users group in 2009 which continues to on today. I believe that community is the key to everyone's success, not just in tech, I am a foster Mom and a frequent community volunteer. As serious as our jobs are every day, i try very hard not to take myself too seriously all the time. We recently adopted our 2 year old Son in 2019, and I love playing dinosaurs and tickle tag whenever the weather allows.
