Subfictional Studios Personal blog for Christie Koehler

About Me

I'm a software engineer, focused on web development with open source tools and languages. I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner and four (!) cats. Originally I hail from Northern California and graduated from UC Davis.

My day job is at an eCommerce startup called ShopIgniter and I'm very active in the Portland Tech community. I help to plan the annual Open Source Bridge Conference, am a board member of the Legion of Tech and a co-organizer of Code 'n' Splode, a user group for women in technology. My non-tech activities include Hatha Yoga, cycling, hiking, folding origami and other misc art projects. I'm also a practicing Zen Buddhist, a vegan and queer.
