About Pauline P. Bakhtiari (née Narvas)
sharing her thoughts in pixels
I'm a full-time multi-hyphenate - working in tech with a degree in sciences, documenting stuff, aligning pixels and encouraging folks to reach for the stars and on a mission to live my healthiest, happiest life.
My goal has always been to share my 'work in progress' so you can feel more confident in yours.
I'm a Community Builder and have led communities such as Code First: Girls (#ShefCodeFirst, #LeedsCFG), Ladies In DevOps over the years and recently in the devtools space: Gitpod, DevX Community and Vercel Community.
My approach is deeply shaped by the years I spent living as a digital nomad; connecting with people all over the world taught me that while our tech might differ, our need for belonging is universal.
Converting thoughts into pixels™️ since 2008
PAWLEAN is my online space where I document, share and reflect on my interests and experiences. I mostly write about personal development, tech, my career journey, travel, health and well-being. This is my life in pixels.
