Maude is a Principal Engineer at GitHub.
Most recently, she was a Senior Staff Engineer at Slack where she was founder and technical lead for the backend performance infrastructure team. She was responsible for large-scale load test tooling, performance regression monitoring, and successfully onboarding the world's largest companies to Slack. For nearly 8 years, she helped the product scale from just 60,000 users per team to over 2 million.
When she doesn't have her nose in a flamegraph, you can find Maude building strong, empathetic engineering cultures.
In October 2020, Maude published "Refactoring at Scale" with O'Reilly Media, a blueprint for how technical leaders can successfully navigate large, complex refactors.
