Top SchoolCarolina Gonzalez is a senior software engineer and engineering manager based in New York with 10 years of experience building full‑stack applications and developer tooling. Currently at Sanity she focuses on Studio DX, contributing to the widely used Sanity Studio (a popular open‑source headless CMS) by improving UI/UX, refactoring core stores, adding feature flags and test coverage. She brings strong backend pedigree from architecting Spring Boot and ETL pipelines that processed 300+GB of market data and saved a client over $1M/year, combined with front‑end expertise in Vue/React and data visualization with D3. As a former solutions engineering manager she blends hands‑on coding with customer‑facing solution design and team leadership. Her background in humanities and creative writing informs an unusual strength in clear technical communication and product content strategy. That mix of large data systems, developer tooling, and editorial instincts makes her adept at shaping developer experiences and complex data workflows.
