Hi, I'm Rayta 👋🏽,

Yes, there’s one Rayta here, and no, it’s not "Raita" (the famous Indian yogurt, cucumber side dish). Thanks mom and dad. People cannot stop giggling when they read my name now. It's pronounced as "Right-a", but you can also call me "Rei" or "Ray" ✌🏽. My pronouns are she/her 🫡

What I do

I work as a Senior Engineering Manager for Primer Brand and Brand Engineering at GitHub, and I am deeply embedded in several tech communities like the monthly Amsterdam Ruby community, Lowlands Community Meetup, DevOpsDays Amsterdam, and some more 😎. I love to be part of tech events that support DEI, such as RailsGirls and A11y Conf and I'm pretty vocal on these subjects.

What I love

• 🐶 I love the walks in the woods with my Bernese Mountaindog
• 🫣 You might notice I'm a fan of emojis and gifs in my communication
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, while enjoying a lovely meal
• 🌶 I love spicy food

Pro tip: use this as a excuse when you don't want to share your food ..."It's very spicy!".

Pro tip 2: don't drink water after eating spicy food
