Anita has over 20 years of experience in software development. She began as a technical writer at the X Windows server company, Hummingbird (which become OpenText), and later at Algorithmics Inc. (acquired by IBM) where she managed the documentation department, overseeing and designing the online help, as well as the written user and turorial guides for their flagship product, RiskWatch - a product used by the world’s leading investment banks.

Anita also worked several years in the mobile industry, leading a QA team in the testing of a graphics engine and a J2EE-based content server. This startup was acquired by Research In Motion (now Blackberry), and its technology used to power the first generation of colour-screen graphical user interfaces for Blackberry devices.

Anita is presently involved in cloud computing, helping the British based startup Weave.Works with marketing in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

She holds an M.A. in Anthropology from the Univeristy of Toronto.
