Speaker: Kate Heddleston
Founder/Software Engineer
Kate Heddleston is an athlete turned software engineer and entrepreneur in San Francisco. She is the founder of a startup called Opsolutely (yes, it’s a pun) that helps engineering teams ship software to service-oriented infrastructure. She writes about diversity and inclusivity on her blog (sometimes), and consults with technology companies on how to improve their developer productivity and company culture. When she’s not writing code or filling out legal documents for her startup, she likes to pretend her small dog is secretly plotting to take over the world. She is no way projecting onto her dog.
