Coffee Meets Cloud

Where tech careers, leadership lessons, and life’s daily chaos collide — all over a strong cup of coffee.

Hosted by three tech professionals and full-time working moms, Coffee Meets Cloud brings you real conversations about navigating the evolving world of technology, growing your career, and balancing it all with the beautiful (and sometimes messy) realities of everyday life.

Whether you’re leading a deployment, managing a project, or negotiating bedtime (or all three at once), you’ll find a seat at our table. No filters. No fluff. Just honest, caffeinated conversations about thriving — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Somehow we ended up talking about PTO mix-ups, first dance classes, DIY projects, skincare rabbit holes, and why one innocent scroll can convince you that you need a new routine, a new product, and a new personality.
This episode is a no-notes, real-life catch-up on being constantly influenced, mildly exhausted, and weirdly impressed by how much the internet seems to know about us. From half-baked DIY confidence to the subtle pressure of “fixing” yourself one TikTok at a time, we’re connecting dots, laughing at ourselves, and admitting we’re not nearly as immune as we’d like to be.
And for the first time, you can watch us have this conversation — this episode is also available in video format on YouTube.
If you’ve ever opened an app “for a second” and come out questioning your habits, your skin, or your sanity… yeah. Same.

In today’s episode, Cassandra briefly turns into a robot (technology humbles us all), and then we get into the real story.
Kassundra Evans shares how a carefully planned path toward law school gave way to a career in cybersecurity—and why that pivot wasn’t accidental, but catalytic. We talk about the Women in Tech Single Mothers program and how access to the right rooms, the right support system, and a network of powerhouse women can radically change the trajectory of a career—and a life.
We go beyond buzzwords to unpack why cybersecurity matters in our day-to-day work, not just for companies, but for families. From protecting data to protecting kids, Kassundra breaks down the practical systems and mindset she uses to stay secure, grounded, and (mostly) sane as the CEO of her household.
This episode is about reinvention, resilience, and the universal truth no one escapes: parenting is hard, careers are nonlinear, and none of us are doing this alone—even when it feels that way.
If you’ve ever questioned your career path, your capacity, or how you’re supposed to hold it all together, this conversation is for you.
