About Daniela Schiano di Cola

I\'m a Software Engineer who is passionate about building meaningful applicationsthat make a positive impact on our society. I\'ve always been drawn to education,both as someone who always loves to learn something new, and as a strong advocatefor educational equity. Before becoming an engineer, I studied linguistics anddesigned and built online courses for foreign languages, which eventually inspiredme to pursue software engineering to build learning experiences for the web.My drive for educational equity brought me to the mission-driven non-profitorganization EducationSuperHighway, where I developed full-stack applicationsand provided support for data analytics for about five years.Some of my other passions include learning languages, traveling, trail running,knitting and playing with my cats. Reach out and let me know what you\'re working on!I\'d love to chat about new and active projects, and how I can contribute tobuilding solutions that will make a real difference in people\'s lives.
