Summary
Ana Ulin is a principal software engineer and co-owner of an engineering consultancy in Oakland with 12+ years of experience taking products from conception to launch across startups and large tech firms. Her strengths lie in backend architecture, distributed systems, microservices, and automating the operational lifecycle (CI/CD, infra-as-code), paired with a people-centric approach to coaching and engineering leadership. She’s equally comfortable shipping hands-on code—everything from data pipelines and serverless APIs to visual testing SDKs—and advising teams on sustainable practices that scale. Past roles span Google, Patreon, and multiple startups where she led cross-functional delivery, mentored engineers, and improved hiring and onboarding processes. Ana combines deep technical craft with operational savvy and a track record of translating complex business needs into maintainable systems.
