Hi πŸ‘‹πŸΌ, I’m Valerie (@vpomerleau)

Location: my desk@home, based in North Vancouver, Canada

Pronouns: she/her

Human languages: French (Canadian), English

Non-work goals for 2023: Learning to MTB beyond the easy green/blue trails, getting back into riding motorcycles/motocross

Current work

I'm a software engineer, currently on contract with Mozilla's Firefox Accounts (Fxa) team. I'm super proud to be contributing to Mozilla's mission to make the internet better for everyone.

Recently, we've been working on a big push to refactor part of Firefox accounts from backbone to react. My work has been focused on recreating the front-end of the pages currently in production with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind, including building out the Storybooks and Jest tests with React Testing Library.

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Check out my contributions to Fxa! πŸ‘ˆπŸΌ

Some things I'm excited about πŸ’–

  • Firefox accounts is a complex system with a lot of moving pieces - I'm learning and growing as a developer every single day by tackling new issues, pairing with other devs on the team, and learning from other devs who are more experienced and/or who focus on a different part of the stack!

  • Part of my background is in translation πŸ’¬, so I've been really enjoying collaborating with Mozilla's localization (l10n) team to make sure all Firefox accounts strings are localized thanks to Mozilla's Project Fluent, a localization system for natural-sounding translations, and Pontoon, Mozilla's open-source, contributor-driven localization platform.

I'm curious about...

Let's talk

πŸ’žοΈ I’m looking to collaborate on impactful projects that improve people's lives, and always keen to talk about using code to build joyful and accessible online experiences.

Also - I'm open to discussing roles, contracts starting in April 2023 πŸ‘€
