Lisa Taylor
Returning Organiser

As a past presenter at Code Camp Wellington, Lisa shared insights into her unique journey of using code to create large-scale interactive art. She's always been drawn to problem-solving and has found joy in tackling unconventional challenges, from automating and streamlining processes to inventing novel solutions, such as using an Arduino to regularly water her plants. Now having forged a career in software development, she's driven by a passion to mentor and empower others. Her belief that "no problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking" is at the core of her approach, hoping to inspire others to explore the seemingly endless opportunities in this industry. As a Engineering Manager at Lunit International, Lisa continues to use her expertise to guide the development processes and grow the development team to their full potential.

Oleg Voronin
Returning Organiser

A solutions architect by day, Oleg tries to balance leaning into his 15 odd years of software design and development with remaining curious and open to new ideas. He enjoys listening to someone passionate and knowledgeable speak on almost any subject, making him an avid audiobooks and podcasts consumer, catch up coffee drinker, and Code Camp lightning talk enthusiast.
Oleg can be seen around Wellington opining about user experience and technical trade offs, collecting AWS badges, and (while getting to stay on the tools in his current role) pleading with the debugger or persevering with git on a Friday afternoon. He welcomes your connections on LinkedIn mentioning you're from CCW!
