# New Joiner: Lisa Karlin Curtis

*August 23, 2021*

We're excited to welcome Lisa Karlin Curtis to the team.

Lisa started out as a consultant at Accenture before accidentally becoming a developer. Most recently, she's been working as a Tech Lead at GoCardless focussing on making their orchestration logic reliable and scalable.

She'll be helping us build out the product, with a particular focus on the API and developer experience.

Outside of the office, she's an avid sports fan - largely cricket and rugby - and also loves to cook (sometimes at home, sometimes for 100+ people).

You can get to know her on the [Machine Unlearning podcast](https://www.machineunlearning.co.uk/episodes/lisakarlincurtis). She also [blogs](https://paprikati.github.io), or you can find her on twitter at [@paprikati_eng](https://twitter.com/paprikati_eng).
