Chazona Baum is a founder and engineering leader with nine years of hands-on experience building product-focused teams and shipping full‑stack web applications across regulated industries like food service, healthcare, insurance, and talent marketplaces. Rising from nontraditional beginnings without a CS degree or bootcamp, she blends customer-success instincts with technical rigor to deliver secure, user-centered systems—tripling frontend deployment frequency at Untapped within 90 days and maintaining zero critical pen-test findings while leading SOC II recertification. As Founder of Tingles Labs she’s explored novel approaches to matchmaking and is pivoting toward an open, federated, privacy-forward platform that prioritizes user control and accountability. Equally at home writing code, designing MVPs, or coaching engineers and career changers, she focuses on measurable impact, operational reliability, and expanding economic opportunity for underserved groups. Based in Chesapeake, VA, she’s open to relocation to the Pacific Northwest, New England, or NYC and often advises technologists transitioning into engineering careers.
