As a Sr. Software Developer, I get to make our vision for Events.com software into a reality. I enjoy working the full stack of software, so I can either be found making enhancements to our beautifully-designed user interface or to our backend Java services. I also like to encourage people to join our lunchtime running club!
The people and culture are amazing! I love coming to work to collaborate with so many smart and talented individuals that all have the drive to make the best products and experiences for our customers.
I really enjoy getting outdoors and training for triathlons. Typically you will find me riding my trusty bike "White Lightning" all over San Diego, running our beautiful coastlines, or (my favorite!) ocean swimming at La Jolla Cove.
I am a big fan of gadgets and technology and would like to jump in the far distant future to see how daily life has evolved. Will we finally get flying cars and hoverboards? Will space travel be as common as driving to the grocery store?
Sarah Pease was raised in the blue-collar town of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Curiosity drew her to become bilingual in Spanish and live on three different continents. Smarts made her a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. Hard work made her a top banking exec at the young age of 23. A desire for a life outside of spreadsheets changed her path to designing high-end social events in New York City. An addiction to Diet Pepsi and a weakness for pizza makes her human.
