Welcoming Allie Sperry, our new Customer Success Engineer

Summary

Resend has hired Allie Sperry as a Customer Success Engineer to support its growing customer base, bringing experience from Litmus in technical support and Customer.io as a deliverability consultant. Sperry describes herself as an email nerd who enjoys helping developers and builders navigate the complexities of email at scale, and she discovered Resend while building an email sending app for fun using AI tools. She got into software through her older brother’s influence and early experiments with Myspace layouts, which taught her to break down and rebuild code. Her favorite tool is Obsidian for daily notes, and she uses a refillable notebook to draft ideas before uploading photos to Claude or digital notes. Her advice to ambitious software engineers is to focus on the desire to learn rather than knowing everything, and to avoid comparing one’s journey to others, as unique backgrounds create unique work.
