Sup, Howzit, Ciao!
I’m Aliseya
First, the fun stuff. I live in Kauai where you can find me at hot yoga and surfing. I’m an avid home chef, and I speak enough Italian to get by.
A CAREER IN TECH
—————————————————————
From Silicon Valley, to Silicon Beach…
Professionally, I grew my career in California as a software developer and leader. I started in Silicon Valley; I have a Masters in EECS from Berkeley and I worked for startups, as well as big internet companies. Most recently, I spent 10 years at Google in L.A., in the ads business leading teams that worked on insight generation and automation on data at scale.
My passion has always been the human side of software. Even with data, I love to make it beautiful.
…and now
I’m currently an LP in a few VC funds, and I spend my time thinking about how to grow companies that are sustainable on all levels.
And while I’m figuring out what company I’ll spend the next 10 years on, you can find me surfing.
Life is available only in the present moment. If you abandon the present moment you cannot live in the moments of your daily life deeply.

People have opinions on the no-knead bread recipe from the NY Times. It was my gateway into making bread, so I’m here for it.
