    The best folks I know in Developer Relations are humble, empathetic and carry a technical credibility that allows them to help developers around the world be successful. By all those measures of what makes someone great a DevRel, Lizzie sets a bar. She approaches her work with a humility that inspires others. She has empathy for the many different backgrounds that developers come from and situations they find themselves in, allowing her to meet developers where they are when they need help. And she is brings a technical credibility to absolutely everything she does means her work resonates with developers across experience levels -- whether they're just learning to code or have spent decades building software.

    I consider myself incredibly lucky to have gotten the opportunity to work with Lizzie and see her work first hand.

  • Tilde Thurium

    Lizzie's work ethic, creativity, and deep ML/AI expertise would be an asset to any team. Lizzie builds connective tissue between companies. I've learned a lot watching her partner with other developer-centric companies to run events. She understands how to write relevant, fun, widely viewed technical blog posts that often incorporate pop culture or trending elements. Also, she helped Twilio's developer relations team create a strategy for short video platforms (TikTok, Instagram) which we hadn't previously tackled. Lizzie is one of the hardest working evangelists I've met, who's always on the lookout for ways to grow. I hope we get to work together again someday!

    Lizzie = Energy. Energy = Lizzie.
    There are few ways of describing Lizzie that doesn't include the word "energy". As a developer advocate and a public speaker, she is explosive and inspiring. Lizzie's ability to capture and room and weave compelling stories around complex technical products and solutions is simply put, outstanding. And I do not say that lightly: I have never seen as much applause by a talk or product demo as Lizzie inspires.

    When Lizzie joined Twilio, we truly lucked out. Her range of skills seems to know no bounds. Besides her "real job" as a developer evangelist, she takes on additional tasks outside of her work scope and completes them with perfection. Product Managers actively seek out Lizzie to help them evangelize their products.

    Here are just some of the things Lizzie does that are not her "real job" — social media management, writing documentation for our AI bot builder (Autopilot), hackathon host, and more! I'm so happy to have met and worked with Lizzie.

    Lizzie is an amazing developer advocate who excels at melding high quality code, engaging content and emerging technical trends. On the downside, her last name is easy to misspell.

    I have known Lizzie for over 3 years.I was her tennis coach at San Mateo High School from2012-2014.She was he heart of the team for 3 years, serving as captain and being selected Most Valuable Player.In practice, she set tone for hard work,dedication,and never giving up, laying a strong foundation for others to follow.After she went away to college, she kept in touch and came back to help with tryouts and practices.She will always be a role model and mentor to future players at her high school.I would highly recommend Lizzie in whatever field she pursues .Yours truly her coach Ed Schuler

Which gave me lot of confident. She is brilliant at motivating and inspiring people. she believes in spreading knowledge and bringing more women in STEM.

  • Shriya Nevatia

    Lizzie is an extremely organized go-getter who makes sure that things happen. I was a panelist for She++ Code Day, which she organized & led, and she made sure that the event was well-attended, that speakers & workshop leaders were informed of everything necessary, and that the event itself was very valuable and fun for everyone involved. She has great organizational skills and can handle herself very well under time pressure & stress. I'm also working with her on Spectra, an all-female hackathon, and she is a great team member who is reliable & great to work with!
