About

I’m a queer Trinidadian-American cisgender woman of color. I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Etsy in New York, and I’ve been active in the engineering world for over 6 years.

I was lucky enough to have a supportive mother, who got me thalida.com for my 16th birthday. It was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received, and is the reason I've become the developer I am today.

I now work with an amazing team during the day, and in the wee hours of the night I hack away at one of my many side projects. I'm always looking for a coding buddy, so if you're interested, get in touch! hello@thalida.com

I’m generally full of questions, and bubble tea.
