Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKeeley Hammond is a Staff Software Engineer and Core Maintainer of Electron with a decade of experience building cross-platform desktop runtimes and native integrations. As technical lead for Slack’s Desktop Runtime team she has driven major OS migrations, shipped native features like screen capture and keychain updates, and slashed vulnerability mitigation time from weeks to business days. Her open source work spans critical Electron projects—networking fixes in the net module, tooling like Electron Forge, and accessibility/testing improvements in Spectron—helping grow Forge’s adoption to hundreds of thousands weekly downloads. Based in Portland, she pairs low-level Chromium familiarity with product-minded engineering to improve performance and developer ergonomics at scale. Outside work she mentors new contributors through Portland Women Coders and Google Summer of Code, intentionally building curriculum to make open source more accessible. A less obvious strength: she brings program-level operational discipline (CI/CD, code-signing, confinement packaging) to developer tooling and runtime teams, closing the loop between infrastructure and shipped product.
