I remember thinking to myself "I am missing a fundamental part of the human experience, because to be human is to be understood, and to belong, and I have neither of those."

Today, what I strive to do is build things that bring delight and wholeness to others, that they might create ideas of beauty, and build expressions of their soul.
I want nothing more than to build a world in which people collaborate with each other.
To build a world in which people build beautiful creations, see each other's creations, and see each other deeply.
I want nothing more than to build a world in which people collaborate with each other, build beautiful creations, take delight in the creations of others, and strive see each other deeply.
Happiness, to me, is a world in which people can show up authentically as their whole self and help craft a sense of wholeness in their communities.

I will pursue this until I have rebuilt the heavens, the hells, and the celestials, if necessary.

It's fun, challenging, and it can be a bit of an under-appreciated art.
It's not enough to solve the technical challenges, it's just as important--if not more so--to address the social ones.
Any sufficiently complex system is a sociotechnical one, and so any sufficiently effective solution must be holistic in its approach and not neglect the core idea that--at the end of the day--humans are the ones operating within these systems.

I am the resident infrastructure witch of the [Hachyderm](https://hachyderm.io) mastodon instance, and love talking about how we've handled some pretty tricky issues without burning out people or servers.
I also built the first set of official [GitHub actions](https://github.com/haskell-actions/setup) for the Haskell language and helped maintain that for a while, although I mostly sit on the backburner now as it's turned into a lovely project and ecosystem in my absence.
I aspire to leave myself open for meaningful consulting and advising opportunities, and invest time towards mentoring others.
I've given [talks](/speaking) in a few conferences about my experiences, appeared on quite a few podcasts, and I love sharing what I've learned with the world.
And lastly (but not least), I currently serve as a Director on the board of the Haskell Foundation and as a Fellow of the Nivenly Foundation.

Lastly (but certainly not least), I currently serve as a Director on the board of the Haskell Foundation and as the first Fellow of the Nivenly Foundation.

I do strongly believe that intersectional advocacy is not only needed, but necessary.
To that end, I am continually working to be better at listening, understanding, and holding space for others.

Hazel spends her days building out teams of humans as well as the systems and tooling to make life better for others.
She's worked at a variety of companies, across a wide range of tech, and knows that the hardest problems to solve are the social ones.
Hazel currently serves as a Director on the board of the Haskell Foundation, as a Fellow of the Nivenly Foundation, and is fondly known as the Infrastructure Witch of Hachyderm (a popular Mastodon instance).
She also created the first official Haskell "setup" Github Action and helped turn it into an active community-maintained project.
