Hi! I’m Sommer (she/her), a software developer based in Oslo, Norway. I currently work as an Engineering Manager on the macOS System Experience team at Apple. Previously, I managed teams on SwiftUI and iOS Accessibility, and earlier in my career I led accessibility efforts at Slack and Twitter (now X). I’ve also spent time at a startup called Chorus Fitness, freelanced as an Accessibility Specialist, and worked professionally in the performing arts. Coming from a background in psychology, arts, and athletics, I’m particularly interested in building software at the intersection of technology and the human mind and body—especially work that centers accessibility, care, and real-world use.

Other Interests

Outside of my day job, I train and coach as a circus artist and aerial performer. You can learn more on my artist site, on Instagram, or by watching my most recent circus film on Youtube. I also love dancing, weight lifting, and running. In my downtime, I enjoy reading and studying languages. I currently have varying degrees of proficiency in Spanish, French, German, and Norwegian.
