Full-stack web developer based in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. I came up through English Lit and law before changing tack into engineering — and it turns out a humanities brain is a pretty good fit for building things people actually want to use.

I care about clear communication, accessible interfaces, and code that the next person can read. Driven by curiosity, creativity and compassion.

Three years building production software, most recently at The Economist — everything from B2B CMS architecture to launching newsletters to running disaster-recovery exercises. Before tech I spent half a decade in advice and casework, including at the House of Commons.

Away from the keyboard you'll find me reading, gardening, crocheting, painting, playing logic puzzles, or rolling dice at the board game café in town.

📝 I write about tech (and literature, philosophy and media) over at emiliawil.dev.
