Hi there! I'm

Amanda Sieracki

Creative Technologist
& Theatre Producer

I'm someone who believes the best innovations happen when technology meets creativity. By day, I'm building APIs and analyzing data at Inclined. In my free time, I love volunteering with various organizations, coordinating the magic of Orlando Fringe Festival each May, and exploring nature through hiking.

Currently splitting time between Manchester, NH & Orlando, FL

A Little About Me

The Tech Side

I've been fascinated by technology since I was young, and that passion led me to specialize in API development, data analytics, and quality assurance. I love solving complex problems and turning data into insights that actually help people.

The Creative Side

Theatre has been my other love since college. There's something magical about bringing stories to life and creating experiences that move people. From Shakespeare to immersive productions, I've found that many skills translate between tech and theatre.

What drives me

  • Creating experiences that bring people together
  • Solving problems with creative, human-centered solutions
  • Building communities and helping others succeed
  • Continuously learning and growing in both fields
