About

Hey, I'm Thalida!

Pronouns they/she. Queer, first generation Trinidadian-American, and currently based in New York.

For my 16th birthday I asked for one thing: a domain of my own. My mom came through, and thalida.com has been my corner of the internet ever since. Nearly 20 years later I'm still here — still experimenting, still breaking things, still figuring it out in public. If the site ever looks a little janky, I'm probably in the middle of learning something new. ✨

Find me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or send me an email.

The day job

I've been building things on the internet for over 14 years — shipping product, leading teams, and occasionally doing both at the same time. Right now I'm an Engineering Manager at Zapier on the MCP Team.

Before that I co-founded Tourus (CTO, VC-backed proptech), and before that I spent years at Webflow, Etsy, and OkCupid as a Lead Engineer and Senior Engineering Manager. I also have a background in design and product management — I like understanding the whole picture, not just the code.
