Well hello there! My name is Cassidy. I'm a startup advisor and
investor, developer experience expert, and meme-maker on the internet.
I'm also the Head of Developer Experience and Education at
Remote, and a Portfolio Partner for
Developer Experience at
OSS Capital!
Before now, I worked at Netlify, React Training, CodePen, Amazon, L4
Digital, Clarifai, and Venmo, and graduated from Iowa State
University. I currently advise some companies, including Netlify,
Contenda, Centered, and several OSS Capital companies, and do some
angel investing, as well!
I run
a weekly newsletter and
love teaching and helping people become better coders! In my spare
time, I love playing music, building mechanical keyboards and LEGO
sets, and hanging out with
my sister Cami. I also have
a
Patreon if you'd like
to chat with me regularly (our Discord group is so active I can hardly
keep up!), get resume reviews, schedule mock interviews with me, or
just play video games. No pressure to join in, and I appreciate your
support a ton no matter what!
In terms of where I am on the internet (and off), you might have seen
me in
Glamour Magazine
or the
Big Dream documentary
a few years back, my
Scrabble
or
Stack Overflow The Key
keyboard projects in a couple dozen different publications! I also co-host
the
Stack Overflow Podcast
and help write their newsletter as well. I also made a successfully funded
Kickstarter project called Go: On the Go!
to get people interested in playing the game Go.
I've spoken at over a hundred events around the world, and have made
online classes on
Scrimba,
Udemy,
Skillshare, and moooore. I love speaking at events, and I have a
speaker rider, if you'd like to
talk to me about one you're running. I also enjoy speaking on podcasts!
Feel free to
email me with
details.
Alright, since you've read this far, have a joke: Why are mountains so
funny? Because they're hill areas.
Cassidy loves to make memes and dreams and software. She's currently
the Head of Developer Experience and Education at Remote, and a
Portfolio Partner for Developer Experience at OSS Capital. She's
worked for a variety of companies, large and small, advises startups,
and she's had the honor of working with various non-profits. She's
active in the developer community, and one of Glamour Magazine's 35
Women Under 35 Changing the Tech Industry and LinkedIn's Top
Professionals 35 & Under. As an avid speaker, Cassidy has
participated in many events including the Grace Hopper Celebration for
Women in Computing, TEDx, the United Nations, and hundreds of other
technical events. She wants to inspire generations of STEM students to
be the best they can be, and her favorite quote is from Helen Keller:
"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."
She loves mechanical keyboards and karaoke.
