Top SchoolShelby Sturgis is a Principal Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 12 years of experience building rich, data-driven UIs and developer tools. She has led visualization and UI efforts at Netflix and Elastic, designing interactive D3-based visualizations and tools for exploring Jupyter notebooks and large datasets. At Netflix she focused on developer experience for data platforms, and her open-source contributions to the prominent nteract project show a knack for polishing front-end UX—sticky headers, editable titles, SVG fixes, and keybindings that improve interactivity. Trained as a PhD scientist at Stanford, Shelby combines rigorous analytical thinking with product-minded engineering, comfortable moving from research-grade data analysis to production-grade web applications. She now brings that blend of visualization expertise, developer tooling, and design attention to scale security and networking products at Palo Alto Networks.
