Annyce Davis — CEO

Hey, I’m Annyce Davis. Thanks for stopping by! I work as a Senior Engineering Leader and Technology Consultant. I’ve specifically focused on helping companies enhance the performance of their engineering teams. I’m also an Android Google Developer Expert. This means I spend a lot of time developing videos, blog posts, and conference talks for the Developer Community. I’m very proud of and passionate about this work. Previously, I was the Vice President of Engineering at Meetup. At Meetup, I helped create the future of real community where people show up, do things, and actually talk to each other. Getting to shape what “mobile-first” meant for an established company was both challenging and rewarding. Before that, I was the Software Group Lead at a social impact startup, Zola Electric. There we provided clean, transformative energy to households that suffered from expensive, unreliable grids. I got to help impact the lives of people across Africa by developing a high-quality Android application that was used by the entire sales and service force. Prior to coming to Zola Electric, I spent 7 years working at the Washington Post. One of my most exciting projects there was working on the PostTV Android application. This project involved multiple form factors: Chromecast, Android TV, tablets, and phones. It was a great experience, and I truly enjoyed my time there! I love creating online training materials. In fact, I’ve created several courses for LinkedIn Learning. I’m currently in Maryland, USA. However, I travel around the world speaking at conferences, so if we happen to cross paths, I’m always up for a coffee 😉
