Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Magder is a software engineer with nine years of experience building and improving iOS platform components, currently contributing at Google after a six-year tenure as a senior engineer at Apple. She brings deep mobile expertise—especially on iOS lifecycle, accessibility, testing, and plugin integrations—evidenced by sustained contributions to high-profile open-source projects such as the Flutter engine and its packages/plugins. Jennifer excels at pragmatic engineering: modernizing platform boundaries (clang modules, deployment targets), reducing build and analyzer warnings, and strengthening test coverage to improve long-term maintainability. Based in Redwood City, she combines hands-on device-level knowledge with a background in both political science and computer science from Tufts, which gives her a broader systems perspective when designing user-facing features. Colleagues rely on her for quietly impactful fixes—like OS logging, automatic simulator rotation, and dark-mode debugging—that meaningfully improve developer and user experience.
