Hello, I'm Layla

I'm a developer-relations professional, specialising in educating developers in the use and communicating the value of the products and services created by some of the world's most recognised technology companies.

At heart, I'm a software developer and architect, specialising in C# and related technologies. Combined with formal media and presenter training, I can deliver a clear, informative, and authentic message to many different types of audience.

I'm an established and well-regarded influencer within the industry. Both Microsoft and Github have accredited me with their respective MVP and Stars award programs. I'm frequently invited to participate as a guest in popular shows, podcasts and other media.

I'm vocal and proactive in my support of equal opportunities. I founded the #WomenOfDotNet initiative.

Speaker

I am an international speaker, having travelled widely to speak at some of the highest profile conferences in the industry. Frequently, to a main-stage audience of hundreds of people, I deliver highly technical, informative, and entertaining sessions.

Teacher

I absolutely love sharing knowledge. I produce well-considered, carefully researched, and balanced workshops. I teach all levels, from developers just starting out, to seasoned professionals.

YouTuber

Starting at the end of 2022 I began producing video content. Building on existing experience working with home video prodution, I have recently raised the bar of my own production standards by undertaking training on Adobe products and TV presenting.

Emcee and Host

I have been the live emcee for several in-person and online conferences. I have hosted first-party events for developers and executives alike.

A favourite higlight of mine, was that I was asked to represent Microsoft by co-hosting their "Ignite Spotlight on the UK" event. This was a fully stage-managed studio event that was broadcast live to tens of thousands of viewers.

Livestreaming

For several years I livestreamed on Twitch with a selection of crazy-cool virtual studios.

I have since switched my focus to curated video content, however I still love to appear as a guest on livestreams.
