My name is Cassie Wallender. I’m 25 years old and have been working professionally in technology since I was 16, which is when I finally moved from playing around with ASCII-based RPGs on my favourite BBS and programming little games in QBasic to actually making money with a bit of freelance web design. Since then I’ve earned an education in Business Administration and Information Systems from Seattle Pacific University, and become experienced in hardware and software troubleshooting, executive level support, and team management. I’ve been lucky to work in a diverse variety of wonderful environments: biomedical, academic, and now a dot-com startup.

A sucker for nearly all things nerdy, I’m interested in automating as much of my life as possible through technology. Efficiency is a beautiful thing. I have a tendency to relate conversations to Star Wars. I love swing dancing, good music, playing bass guitar, hiking, canoing, and recently started biking. My personality type is best described as an ESTJ and I enjoy long walks on the beach, et cetera and so forth.

If you notice any broken links or just want to say hello, feel free to drop me a line.  If you want to send me random gifts (Ha!), check out my wish list.
