Lola Odelola is a Technologist and Professional Rubber Duck, her role in the technology industry is to help others and build tools that make work and life a little easier. Professionally she has worked in a number of industries, including ethical food, political organising & campaigning, Web Standards, and Big Tech.

Her desire to help also extends past her paid work as she is the founder of blackgirl.tech, a non-profit aimed at helping to diversify the tech industry with free workshops, social events, and scholarships. As someone without a technical background, with a degree in Creative Writing and English Literature, Lola understood the difficulty in trying to understand and navigate the tech industry and the importance of a safe community. This was the goal of blackgirl.tech, to provide a safe space for Black girls, women and non-binary people to learn and explore technology. Between 2014 and 2018, blackgirl.tech helped over 200 Black girls, women and non-binary people on their coding journey and teamed up with 8th Light to offer a scholarship program for two Black women to learn how to code. Many also went on to start their careers in tech or advance their skillset.

Lost in the Source is Lola’s blog and podcast where she explains technical concepts and shares her experiences in tech as well as tips and advice on how to grow as an engineer and navigate the industry.

Lola continues to work in the Web Standards space, imagining new ways to make the Web more safe, accessible and equitable.
