Hi! My name is Sydney. I just finished my last year of undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where I graduated with my BS in computer science. Over the past year, I worked part-time as an open source development intern at Pydantic, and I’ve since transitioned to a full-time role with the company.

Ever since I was 15, I've been working for small startup companies. Two years ago, I was introduced to Pydantic in the context of data validation for API requests and responses. To say it was a game changer would be an understatement - I readily fell head over heels for the tool. Since that day, my role has evolved from an enthusiastic user to a passionate contributor. I've really found my groove at Pydantic, where I've had the opportunity to make significant open source contributions and help others do the same.

In my free time, I love to run, cook / bake, and listen to podcasts!
