Eryn Wells

Hi! 👋🏻

 Me, wearing a hat and smiling slightly, standing in front of a stone background.

I’m Eryn. My pronouns are she/her. I’m a queer trans woman. I live in San Francisco, CA, on the unceded ancestral lands of the Ramaytush Ohlone people, with my two cats. I was born in Seattle, WA and grew up in Phoenix, AZ. I attended Oberlin College where I got a degree in Computer Science. Tess is my girlfriend.

I speak English natively, and Spanish too, though I always need more practice.

Hobbies

I’ve been a musician for most of my life. I started on the piano at age seven, played trumpet in high school, and have picked up a smattering of other instruments along the way. I still play piano occasionally, but my current musical obsession is my modular synthesizer. I occasionally record things, and I’m hoping to share them here on this site, but for now, they’re on SoundCloud and Bandcamp.

I do try to spend my non-work time away from the computer, but every so often I get inspired to hack on something. Those projects usually end up on GitHub.

Other things I’ve picked up over the years include: ceramics, calligraphy, knitting, bread baking, bicycling, photography, and astronomy. You can never have too many hobbies, right?

Professional

I’ve worked as a software engineer since 2011 for a variety of companies around the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve been at Apple since early 2016, first on the iOS Accessibility team, and now on the Authentication Experience team.
