Lydia Hallie
Software engineer, writer, and visual explainer. I make complex computer science ideas easier to see.
Writing about TypeScript, GraphQL, web performance, and the JavaScript language.
My name is Lydia Hallie and I'm a software engineer. I'm originally from the Netherlands but have been living a nomadic lifestyle since 2016.
I specialize in TypeScript, GraphQL, Web Performance, and Cloud technologies, and I love making complex computer science concepts accessible to anyone interested in technology through my writing and visualizations.
I've been a full time software engineer since 2017, and I've had the opportunity to work with startups ranging from early stage to Series D, which has been a learning experience in both technology and business. In 2022 I focused more on developer relations to improve my people skills and get out of my coding comfort zone.
In my free time, I like to challenge myself to be more creative and improve my tech skills by writing articles on commonly used technologies and subjects that are often misunderstood or take time to understand. I also enjoy giving talks at conferences and meetups.
What this site is for
Theavocoder is a home for the lessons and notes that do not fit into a single talk or a single thread. The JavaScript path is the core. The Big O and GraphQL guides extend it. The notes collect the rest.
