Sarah Allen
CTO, Mightyverse

Website | @ultrasaurus | Attendee Directory Profile

Sarah Allen’s active projects are Mightyverse, testfirst.org, RailsBridge and a couple of not yet released iPhone and iPad apps.

Mightyverse is a mobile startup focused on helping people communicate across languages and cultures. The technology is still being incubated, but parts of it are emerging at mightyverse.com. Currently, Mightyverse is primarily self-funded, so Sarah is paying the bills with independent consulting and training at Blazing Cloud.

Sarah has been part of the OpenLaszlo core team, but of late has been distracted by Ruby, Rails and mobile development. In her spare time, she works to diversify the SF Ruby on Rails community with a focus on outreach to women.
