Summary
Amber Rawson is a software engineer with nine years of experience, currently building Google Lens for the web where she blends front-end and systems work to deliver visual search at scale. She transitioned from Site Reliability Engineering on Cloud Bigtable and Spanner into product-facing Lens development, giving her a strong grounding in distributed systems and production reliability. Her internship work shows she designs end-to-end pipelines—having built a video-processing RPC service, an Android streaming app, and CLI tooling adopted by QA—so she’s comfortable across client, server, and infra layers. Early roles at Chartbeat and research at Rutgers demonstrate experience with APIs, React-based UIs, Python backends, and simulation-driven problem solving. Collected through competitive programs like hackNY, she pairs practical shipping experience with a knack for instrumenting complex workflows that teams use daily.
