Senior🎓
Top SchoolSydney Smith is a Senior Software Engineer at CNN Digital with a decade of tech experience and a unique background as a former television news producer who returned to build the web experiences for the teams she once covered. She specializes in modern JavaScript stacks—React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker and RESTful APIs—bringing newsroom speed and attention to detail to high-traffic web applications. Trained through General Assembly and Emory programs, she pairs formal web education with hands-on production experience at a major media company. An active community leader, Sydney volunteers with Black Girls Code, serves on the leadership team for Women Who Code, and is a familiar presence at local meetups, using mentorship to widen access for women of color in tech. Outside of work she balances engineering with parenting a toddler, which she says keeps her pragmatic, resilient, and excellent at prioritization.
