Favorite Cooking Story: One of my early attempts at preparing frozen breakfast for myself required some quick thinking. Smelling the burning of sugar and plastic, I looked over to discover the pop-tart laden toaster fully in flames. I unplugged it from the wall and used the cord to hurl the toaster through the door into the back yard. I'm still living in fear of rogue toasters.

Favorite Sauce: I have no choice here but to say Hidden Valley Ranch, it just works -- on anything.

Favorite Cooking Story: Truly ungifted when it comes to cooking, a roommate once handed me a pan of lamb chops and told me to "put it on the barbecue." He returned 15 minutes later to find that I had put the lamb, still in the pan, on the barbecue. Thus was born my culinary masterpiece known to this day as "Pan 'o Lamb."

Favorite Sauce: Wasabi, until my eyes water, followed closely by Worcestershire.

Favorite Cooking Story: When I was 14, I was tasked with making the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. After dinner, I proudly served it to my family and was told to take the first bite. Moments later, I realized with horror I had forgotten a key ingredient - SUGAR! I will never forget the year we went without pumpkin pie.

Favorite Sauce: Ginger soy dipping sauce. I could drink it.

Jeremy is just wild about asian teas.

Favorite Cooking Story: In college, my chemist girlfriend and I wanted to make chai. In order to maximize flavor she flipped the lid of the pot and put ice in it. This created a janky reflux apparatus in which vaporized essential oils would condense on the lid and fall back into the mix. I've been using this technique ever since.

Favorite Sauce: Jeremy's robust gravy made from a mushroom stock reduction and ghee roux. This is made from the stock remaining after cooking a seitan "roast". Not only is it great use the left-over stock, it's one of the best gravies I've had.

Favorite Cooking Story: I grew up eating my mom's homemade chocolate cake on all birthdays. With 8 siblings, this meant cake 11 times per year! I now make it for many of my husband's, son's and friends' birthdays. I once sent the recipe and some ingredients to my friend in the Peace Corps in Honduras. After she made it, everyone in the small town came to her to make their birthday cakes. I loved thinking about my mom's cake being eaten in the mountains of Central America.

Favorite Sauce: Thai curries.

Born and raised at the foot of the Alps just outside of Munich in Germany, Sebastian spent his youth listening to David Hasselhoff songs. He wore Lederhosen and eagerly anticipated the day he could legally drink his first stein of beer.

When daddy put the first computer on his desk in the mid 90s, Sebastian quickly went on to figure out BASIC, Pascal and C/C++. Rainy afternoons were filled with building websites, countless iterations of Linux kernel makefile tweaks and compiler runs.

Before joining Sauce, Sebastian finished a degree in Software Development (in Munich), he spent almost a decade building customer information systems making transit information more accessible for people living in large metropolitan areas worldwide.

Favorite Cooking Story: We forgot to bring firestarters for the BBQ grill on a vacation trip to Ireland, so I decided to use margarine instead. While I explained how the Mont Blanc tunnel fire got triggered (by a cargo truck stocked with margarine) the grease in the grill hit its flash point and the whole thing blew up in a ginormous fireball. From this day on, whenever I touch the margarine at breakfast, people run and seek shelter.

Favorite Sauce: Everything that goes well with sauerkraut, obviously.

Favorite Cooking Story: My Dad bought me a BBQ in college that I rarely used. Feeling guilty about this, I invited all my friends over for some good old fashioned burgers. It was a really windy night and the smoke was ruining any chance of me looking like a skilled cook. Feeling a bit desperate, I decided to put on my swimming goggles to avoid the smoke. After dinner, we all tried on the goggles for a funny photo op. I am not sure what people remember more, the food or the photo fun, but nonetheless, we all had a good laugh and the BBQ was a success.

Favorite Sauce: Sweet Hot Mustard (Beaver Brand).

Having grown up with Logo, HyperCard and Pascal, Brendan first cut his teeth in professional software development at UC Berkeley where he wrote CAD and numerical simulation software for the hard disk drive industry. After nearly suffering a career-ending overdose of Fortran and recuperating in Eastern Europe, he joined a quant research team and worked in the finance industry for a number of years. After many years in the land of split-second trades, the daily grind of dreaming up evil C++ template tricks to play on his co-workers got the best of him and Brendan, once again, was forced to spend a year recuperating while vagabonding around the world.

When staying close to home he enjoys hiking, surfing and brewing up tasty ales in the back yard.

Favorite Cooking Story: Many years ago I decided to cook my girlfriend dinner for Valentines Day. The menu consisted of butter potatoes, carrots sauteed in butter and steak cooked in clarified butter with a lemon-shallot butter sauce. Sometimes in the effort to push the envelope, great explorers learn the limits. That meal proved that you can, in fact, have too much butter.

Favorite Sauce: My childhood was spent in North Carolina, so there ain't nothing like a good vinegar based BBQ sauce.

Favorite Cooking Story: When I was about 5 years old, I saw that my dad was eating these small green things on his nachos. I begged him for some, but he kept refusing, saying that I wouldn't like them. He finally relented, and gave me two or three. That was the day that I learned jalepeño peppers existed. Ever since that day, I've refused to make nachos unless we have extra hot jalepeños on hand.

Favorite Sauce: Extra spicy salsa!

Favorite Cooking Story: One time I ate Thanksgiving dinner with a friend and his vegetarian older brother. For some reason we thought it was a good idea to leave the vegetarian in charge of cooking the turkey. Needless to say, the bird didn't get the attention it deserved and came out severely undercooked when the rest of the food was done. We ended up eating mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, and yams for dinner with turkey as our dessert.

Favorite Sauce: Creamy Tomato Alfredo

Alex's natural environment is among startups and maker collectives. She previously directed Ann Arbor's hackerspace, All Hands Active, and she relaxes by building robots.

Favorite Cooking Story: When I was very small, I was given a book about minerals, complete with awesome rock samples. The book stated, "You shake a mineral over your food to make it taste better." So, I brought a piece of pyrite to the dinner table and waved it over my spaghetti. It took me years to realize that they meant shaking salt *onto* your food.

Favorite Sauce: Hollandaise. Eggs Florentine is pure ambrosia.

Ryan was born and raised in Australia where he studied Software Engineering at the University of Queensland. After years of infatuation with the startup industry and a brief foray in the startup arena in Australia, Ryan moved over to San Francisco in the middle of 2013 to get a first-hand experience of the startup life with Sauce.

In his spare time, Ryan works on a few open source projects, the most interesting being cdnjs - an open source CDN he co-founded with a childhood friend. Outside of developing, Ryan enjoys working out.

Favorite Cooking Story: I once thought it would be a great idea to cook 5 kg (11 lbs) of kangaroo mince into a few giant meatloaves - dinner and lunch sorted for a week for a few people. This turned out to be a bad idea, and took almost all night to prepare and cook with two people. Once it was cooked, the meatloaf smelled terrible - like really pungent dog food. We tried feeding it to the dog, but the dog was having none of it. It had to be thrown out.

Favorite Sauce: Tomato sauce (ketchup) adds flavor to even the dullest meals.

Bernard started creating his first programs during primary school inspired by older brothers' IT class home assignments. During years he developed bigger and smaller applications in various programming languages both as a professional assignments and personal pet projects. During his academic years he was always in pursuit of ambitious cutting edge work and got especially interested in the web and mobile technologies as their potential started to reveal.

He started his professional career by winning a programming competition organized by vehicle tracking company at the college. He was doing most of his work as a freelancer. He was lead developer on some startups that turned out to be a huge success in Poland. He is also front-end creator of 'virtual assessment center' system for one of the biggest Polish telecom companies. Not being satisfied with innovativeness of the tasks, he started to search work beyond the borders of his home country which could better utilize his skill set.

His higher level goal is to produce efficient solutions to problems (both engineering and business) that really matter and follow good engineering practices at the same time to provide a solid codebase.

Favorite Cooking Story: One time I got full plate of excellent soup. While I was reaching to it with my spoon, in a blink of an eye, the dog jumped on the table with his front legs, took a gulp and disappeared in the same second... It turns out that you have to really watch out when you have adolescent dog near you. Really.

Favorite Sauce: My all time favorite is spaghetti tomato sauce which is a bit surprising as I generally prefer dishes that include meat. Want exact recipe? Just mail me, you're gonna love it!

Dylan still isn't sure what he wants to be when he grows up, but has managed to narrow it down to 'make things and help people'. Since discovering that physical things cut, burn and are bulky he's focused on making ideas which don't actually exist -- Mainly code. As the Ruby Developer Evangelist he gets to help Ruby developers (his favorite kind of people) make software (his favorite kind of thing).

He's worked in web development his entire career, skipping from test engineer to lead developer and most things in between. He started with a dusty old laptop at 15, writing QBasic code littered with gotos. Don't worry, he's better now. Ruby and Dylan met when he was forced to support a Rails 2.1 project because no one else wanted to and he drew the short straw. Sucked in, former co-workers -- he loves it.

He finds TV too passive and movies too boring, so you can find him playing videogames, keeping bees, planning unlikely hacker projects and having adventures. That's when he's not biting off more then he can chew (excuse the pun) by cooking elaborate meals for his friends, family, and anyone else who gives him an excuse

Favorite Cooking Story: Going on camp with 12 people, I decided to make Hollandaise sauce in advance so we could have Eggs Benedict on camp. (PS: Have Eggs Benedict on camp). Worried about running out, I made 2 whole Litres. Only once we were there did we realize we had no way of reheating it without splitting, so we used a plastic water bottle in a water bath and a wooden spoon to frantically stir. The plastic insulated the contents so every time we used Hollandaise there was a 15 minute 'stand and stir' routine to execute.

Favorite Sauce: Kecap Manis. It's like soy mixed with caramel, liquid diabetes with a hypertension twist.

Raechel is Sauce’s Finance and Operations Manager. She loves enabling the Saucers to do what they do best (something about writing code?) by creating slick processes and never re-inventing the wheel.

Before Sauce, she studied finance and economics in Boston and started her career in a place that was as corporate as it gets. Once she realized her passion was innovation, she chased it all the way to San Francisco (even though she'd never even visited). After a short stint as a bartender in SF’s busiest tourist trap, she’ll do anything to help you out - except make you a blended strawberry daiquiri.

Favorite Cooking Story: I once cooked for a wedding with a guest list of 250. The whole thing went off without a hitch until it was time to strain the pasta from the huge pots. I hadn’t thought about what it would be like to pour 10 gallons of boiling water into the sink.

Favorite Sauce: Chimichurri. Especially on grilled steak.

Ryan helps Sauce grow and maintain their cloud. Before Sauce, Ryan spent 6 years as a mechanical engineer and had his hands in various projects including 3d printers, atomic clocks, and injection molded plastics. Ryan was always fascinated by the world software and electronics. Beckoned initially by programs like Scilab and LabVIEW, Ryan has finally given into the urge to write programs.

Favorite Cooking Story: The first time I met my mother in law, I made pancakes with my favorite sauce. With the sound of fire alarms ringing and opaque smoke in the air, I realized I'd neglected to compensate for her copper bottom stainless steel pans.

Favorite Sauce: Maple Syrup

Jonathan taught himself programming at a young age, beginning with BASIC and Pascal, and always believed he would become a computer scientist, but in college decided to refactor his approach to life and add an abstraction layer in the form of two degrees in Philosophy. Philosophy being useless for paying rent, Jonathan worked as a software developer for the next 5 years for various startups.

Jonathan then did a degree in Linguistics at Oxford. On the way to subsequent graduate study, the sticky tentacles of web development (read: the desire to build something) drew Jonathan back to San Francisco. Jonathan eventually discovered Sauce Labs and was attracted, given his painful experiences with local Selenium testing, to the obvious value of cloud-based integration tests.

Favorite Cooking Story: I love cooking, baking, and brewing beer, and usually pride myself on the faithfulness of my culinary products to their Platonic forms. Occasionally things don't go so well. One recent brewing expedition (an American Pale Ale) appeared to be proceeding normally until we left the fermenter alone in the apartment for a few days. We came back to fully half of the beer splattered over the walls and floor. Apparently the airlock had gotten clogged and the yeast had built up enough pressure to expel 2.5 gallons of liquid all over the house. Never underestimate a barrel of eukaryotes!

Favorite Sauce: The Indonesian Peanut Sauce from this awesome recipe.

Megan grew up in the halcyon San Francisco suburb of Novato. She earned a Kinesiology degree from USC and ended up doing clinical MRI research at UCSF. She taught herself to program in Matlab and Python to help support image processing software at her lab, and she realized programs were way more fun than academic papers… so she got herself published just to say she did it and then got employed as a developer at Sauce.

Apart from programming, Megan enjoys mud runs, scuba diving, swing dancing, and Bananagrams. She is addicted to vintage sci-fi novels and Dr. Who.

Favorite Cooking Story: I have a bad habit of experimenting with food even when the stakes are a little higher than they should be. I wanted to make a vanilla-bourbon ice cream for Thanksgiving to go with the pumpkin cake I’d made, even though I’d never made ice cream. The borrowed ice cream maker did not make the ice cream solid in time to eat, so the cake ended up getting served with a very rich, very boozy vanilla-bourbon sauce.

Favorite Sauce: That sauce. It was amazing. Seriously, I still dream about it.

Favorite Cooking Story: I lived in Nepal for a few months and there were persistent water shortages. One night our faucet went dry while cooking a meal. I forgot to turn the faucet off and kept cooking my lentils. The water returned overnight and I woke up with 3 feet of water in my kitchen!

Favorite Sauce: Got to be BBQ.

Lauren brings her passion for user experience, psychology, and data to marketing at Sauce. She strives to use her capacities for high concept and high touch together to help spread the word about Sauce Labs. With past experience in marketing, social media, and user experience research at startups, Lauren has found that the startup world is a great place to fuel her addiction to learning.

When she isn't at work fighting for the users, you can find Lauren DJ-ing, dancing to techno, nourishing her infatuation with clothing, making jewelry, recording her dreams, or pursuing one of her other hundred hobbies.

Favorite Cooking Story: I love making pad see ew, but had trouble finding the right rice noodles at grocery stores nearby, so on a hot tip I tried to get some noodles from a noodle factory nearby. I managed to find the place, but they don't have a store front since they mostly sell to wholesalers. I rang the doorbell and found myself in basically a storage room, where I asked a man who barely spoke English for a pound of noodles. They were clearly thrown for a loop; they never had people showing up there wanting to buy noodles, and they weren't even sure what to charge me, but I walked out of there with a plastic bag full of noodles, and I've been showing up there ever since to buy my noodles.

Favorite Sauce: Hoisin sauce! It's a bit sweet and a bit savory, and accompanies some of my favorite dishes..

Half French, half English, Mathieu (pronounced /ma.tjø/ or plain old Mathew) is fresh out of school with a masters in Computer Engineering.

Past Mathieu never really expected that he would end up having anything to do with computers. But now that he is here, he is having all the fun in the world. While not studying, Mathieu has been experimenting with all kinds of programming languages. He is a big fan of OSS and while he does not frown at OSX nothing can replace his love for Linux.

Favorite Cooking Story: Being half French, half English, Mathieu's cooking skills are, like Schrödinger's cat, in a state of limbo. And should probably stay that way. As far as cooking stories go, once while camping a giant pot of pasta was made. The crowd was famished and was eagerly awaiting said pasta. Alas the pot was tipped and the pasta strewn across the ground. The pasta was eaten thus, mixed with the local herbs (aka grass). Some liberty taken with geography, one could consider the grass to be herb de provence. And that is how the day was saved.

Favorite Sauce: HP Sauce, that is all.

Kuba took his first steps in programming at the age of 8, after reading an article about writing viruses in BASIC. Without yet having a computer he started creating first programs with pen and paper. Interestingly some of them actually worked after coding them down many years later.

After trying different technologies in the following years he finally decided to focus on frontend, as it looked to be the next big thing in programming. Trying bigger and smaller companies as well as a lot of freelance and open source work prepared him for what is the root of the modern web - true californian startup - Saucelabs.

When not programming you can find Kuba either lifting weights or somewhere around his hometown doing urban freeskiing.

Favorite Cooking Story: During one party I thought it'll be a good idea to make some scrambled eggs. After half an hour fire alarm that set off in the kitchen reminded me about my idea. I called it Kuba's Famous Burned Pan.

Favorite Sauce: I'm not a sauce expert so I usually use garlic-yoghurt or just ketchup.

Santiago or "Santi" comes from an old style software development shop, where he started as a manual tester and led the company towards test automation in the search for productivity. At first, Santi was a Mercury QTP practitioner, but his Open Source instincts drove him towards Selenium. Santi set up the functional automation environment and first tests for eduCommons (OpenCourseWare Consortium, MIT) and has worked on several Python development projects. Santi handled some writing and the entire infrastructure of the Selenium 1.0 official documentation and remains a project contributor.

Santi is originally from Rosario, Argentina and loves driving motorcycles, windsurfing, sailing and enjoying nature. His most recent interests include rock climbing.

Favorite Cooking Story: One day on a friend's boat, we had to improvise to strain the spaghetti. We sacrificed one of the boat window screens which turned out to not be the best decision. We ended up with dirty spaghetti for dinner and mosquitoes inside the boat the whole night.

Favorite Sauce: Santi's first choice when it's time to eat: Bolognese.

Once upon a time, Raquel was a roboticist. Concerned the robots didn't like her very much, she left robotics and tried her hand at web development as a noder/front-end engineer. It turns out the robots were only kidding, and Raquel has found herself hanging out in the land of nodebots and giving talks about how to get more web devs playing with hardware.

At Sauce, she's on the Mobile R&D team, figuring out how to make mobile devices behave in ways no one really expected them to work. Expect high-fives and random gifs regularly.

Favorite Cooking Story: Everything Raquel makes is perfect and delicious. Except for maybe that one time she forgot to put butter and used salt instead of sugar in a batch of cookies. Lessons have since been learned, honest!

Favorite Sauce: Pesto alla genovese!
