# Cassidy Williams
Shaping developer experience at GitHub, advising startups, and navigating the AI era.

## About

Cassidy Williams leads developer experience at GitHub. Beyond her day job, she advises startups, invests, and creates internet memes while advocating for open source.

She cares about the human reality of modern coding. Rather than blindly praising or bashing AI, she focuses on how tools affect our actual thinking processes and development workflows. You can hear her tackle startup pivots, junior hiring, and the modern engineering landscape in [Coffee with Developers](/videos/912-coffee-with-developers-cassidy-williams).

Outside of tech, Cassidy is a mom of two who builds mechanical keyboards and plays music.
