Cassandra has shot to the forefront of young front-end developers in Alaska because she understands a website must succeed on multiple levels at the same time. It’s got to be cool enough to draw people in – but planned logically to guide them to what they want. An expert in CSS, HTML and PHP, Cassandra has crafted websites for very diverse clients, from multi-billion-dollar First National Bank Alaska to child-advocacy nonprofit thread* Alaska. Not only is she a tech ninja, but she plays well with others. She shoulders part of the project management and provides guidance in all directions, meeting regularly with graphic designers, client services and clients themselves. She’s also the first point of contact as our help desk, making sure every MSI client’s site is always up and running and always secure.
Maybe part of the reason Cassandra is so nice is she’s Canadian. Or used to be, before she fell in love with an Alaskan and moved here to get married and start a family. She grew up in both big-city and small-town British Columbia, daughter of a tow truck driver who used her daddy’s tools to build tree forts when not solving complex challenges in video games. It’s almost like Cassandra grew up learning skills she would need to be the cool Alaska mom who builds awesome websites.
