My name is Cassie Wallender. I started working professionally in technology over ten years ago, when I finally moved from playing around with ASCII-based RPGs on my favorite 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, user experience, and project/product/program management. I’ve been lucky to work in a diverse variety of wonderful environments: biomedical, academic, a dot-com startup, one of world’s largest websites, and now a cloud-based relationship marketing tool for life sciences.
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 and the Lindy Hop, good music, great user experiences, hiking, canoeing, and biking. My personality type is best described as ESTJ and I also enjoy long walks on the beach.
Feel free to drop me a line. If you want to send me random gifts (Ha!), check out my wish list.
