My name is Caspar Anderegg, and I'm a software engineering manager in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I started doing freelance web design and programming in 2006, and earned my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2012.
I started my involvement in entrepreneurship in 2011, writing data analysis libraries for a startup up in Ithaca, New York. From 2014 to 2016 I served as CTO of an education tech startup in Washington, D.C. I'm currently employed as a Software Team Lead at Alarm.com, Inc.
I have a passion for solving problems, improving the software engineering process, and turning great ideas into great code.
