Alyssa Hope is a Head of Engineering with 10 years of full-stack experience across startups, agencies, and education, currently leading engineering at Navi from Chula Vista, CA. She combines hands-on expertise in Typescript/Node/React and AWS with a track record of shaping technical and data architecture, fundraising positioning, and agile team delivery. Known for clear communication and mentorship, she has taught multiple Udacity courses and led instructor programs, translating complex concepts into practical curricula. Her background spans front-end pixel perfection to backend systems like Postgres and serverless AWS stacks, and she frequently bridges product design workflows with tools like Figma and Webflow. Comfortable wearing many hats, she brings both tactical implementation skills and strategic leadership to early-stage and scaling teams. An uncommon strength: she blends classroom-level teaching experience with production engineering, helping teams learn as they ship.
