Desy Kristianti

Desy (she/her) rhymes with Messi (the football player). I'm from Indonesia and moved to the UK in 2012.

I am a Frontend Engineer at Prolific, an online platform that connects researchers with instant, high quality, global research participants. We use Vue.js and previously I worked with React, TypeScript and GraphQL.

Passionate about diversity, public speaking and personal development. Also food, manga, cute stickers, VR gaming, ukulele and singing. Last but not least, I have a Golden Retriever called Joey!

I have spoken at various tech conferences across Europe, won the WATC Rising Star Awards 2018 in Technology and was shortlisted for the Asian Women of Achievement Awards 2020 in Digital & Technology.

I am a firm believer that anyone has the power to engineer their own success - irrespective of who they are and their background. There's nothing you can't achieve if you set your mind to it!
