Hi there!

Hi, I’m Becky Cole: a software engineer at Westpac, educator and media creator with a playful creative edge.

I bring years of vocational education and award-winning community radio experience to building software that helps people understand what to do next.

I’m speaking at Laracon AU 2026 about thinking like a teacher to build better software. Outside work, I’m exploring expressive robotics and animatronics.
