Top SchoolKathrin Ayer is an engineering manager in New York with eight years of professional software experience and a deep background leading front-end and full-stack teams across startups and large enterprises.

At Raytheon she built and governed a company-wide design system, steered release and monorepo migrations, and combined tactical execution with multi-quarter strategic roadmaps. Known for pairing hands-on technical work (from web components and visual regression testing to Node/Deno experimentation) with people development, she also mentors engineers and formalizes hiring and review processes. Her early career in creative roles and illustration informs a strong product sensibility and attention to UX and design-driven engineering.
