Summary
Shelley Cavaness is a software developer based in Paris with eight years of professional experience and a strong focus on the JavaScript ecosystem across front-end and back-end frameworks. Currently at Dashlane, she brings practical full-stack skills honed through intensive training at Simplon.co and hands-on React work during a stint at Société Générale. Her background as an academic and lecturer (PhD in Literature and multiple teaching roles) gives her an unusual strength in communication, curriculum-style thinking, and mentoring technical teams. She combines project management and adaptability with a collaborative approach that helps translate technical concepts for diverse audiences. Shelley’s cross-cultural career—from U.S. universities to Parisian residences and translation work—signals an ability to navigate complex, multilingual environments and stakeholder needs. She pairs a humanities-rooted analytical perspective with modern JavaScript toolchains to deliver thoughtful, user-centered software.
