She has a strong full-stack background—Python/Django backends and React frontends—and a track record at Minerva of designing course-building and scheduling tools that handled complex international partners and hundreds of unique constraints. As an engineering manager she led a team of five-to-six engineers, instituted hiring and interviewing processes, and iterated team practices to protect engineering time while shipping product polish and bug fixes.
