For a decade, since YC W13, I've been building startups making something from nothing. For the next 4-5 years I am looking to contribute to taking something working and make it lasting. The companies I am considering exhibit the following behaviors: - seek understanding - make your content clear - make your delivery memorable These behaviors can manifest as existing product market fit, clear and concise external and internal communication, and user interfaces with craftsman-like quality. From a personal growth standpoint, I have this intrinsic desire to be a dramatically better programmer. Landing somewhere with a lot of talented and kind programmers is important to me. I would like to start in the organization as an IC software engineer. After the first year I am open to engineering management, product, and any roles that are of use to the company's purpose. I have an affinity towards building tooling that enables amateurs to surpass in ability and production quality of professionals. Not interested in AI, unless witchy. Not interested in web3, unless it involves decentralized file storage or governance for IRL assets. Not interested in science tech or tools for thought; I need a break. Open to relocation for the right opportunity. ciindy.wu at gmail dot com cindy-wu.com

Developer Productivity and Infrastructure

I'm an engineering generalist with 15 years of experience building software in complex domains, from seed-stage startups to mature, profitable companies. I love collaborating to find elegant solutions to business problems, and I work hard to foster a culture of clarity, ownership, and psychological safety with my teammates and reports. I enjoy facilitating growth, shipping meaningful work on time, and having fun as a team while doing it! Prior to becoming an EM, I was a Staff Engineer, reflecting more than a decade of deep IC work. I've also spent time at the Recurse Center (as both a participant and faculty member), invested in a few startups myself, and worked in the nonprofit space. My academic background is in art history and architecture.
