As the Director of Programs at /dev/color, Cynthia is designing strategies to overcome the limitations imposed by the myriad of catastrophes impacting Black and Brown communities in general and Black Software engineers specifically. /dev/color is a non-profit that creates environments where Black software engineers can learn from one another and hold one another accountable for reaching ambitious career goals. While she acknowledges that much of what is impacting all of us right now is beyond our control, the Team at dev/color is committed to providing a program and network that is resilient, valuable, and flexible enough to support their members as they continue to move into more influential positions of tech leadership.
In addition to all of this fantastic-ness, Cynthia is creative, well-rounded, fun (and funny) with a passion for helping individuals and organizations grow capacity while cultivating authentic, reliable connections with their members, communities and each other.
