Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlyson Van Hardenberg is a Director of Engineering with nine years of software experience, currently leading transformation at Honeycomb from Victoria, BC. She rose through hands-on full‑stack roles—shipping TypeScript, React, Go, and MySQL features—and has managed fast-paced teams that closely partner with design and product. Alyson pairs technical credibility with governance experience, having served as an employee-elected board member reporting back to staff on strategy and outcomes. Her background is atypical for an engineering leader: before software she trained as a registered nurse and supported families as a doula, skills that inform her empathetic, coaching-driven management style. She’s pragmatic in the face of uncertainty, preferring to guide teams through change rather than claim all the answers, and stays engaged with engineering craft and on-call responsibilities.
