Hi, I'm Dalma 👋

I write hand-crafted artisanal Ruby code for a living.

I specialize in humanitarian tech and mission-driven software, prioritizing Domain-Driven Design, intention-revealing interfaces, and long-term sustainability of codebases.

"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

I believe software should be as human-centered as the missions it supports.
