Lars Johnson is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable collaboration and storage systems, currently helping democratize software creation at Airtable. He spent seven years at Dropbox leading technical execution for Paper and Filesystem teams, shipping core datastore and snapshot features, optimizing massive data deletion pipelines, and improving on-call reliability. Comfortable across the full stack, Lars has led small engineering groups, mentored new hires and interns, and balanced product-facing UI work with backend services and security reviews. He holds BS and MEng degrees from MIT and brings a research-minded approach from early work on the music21 computational musicology toolkit, where he contributed web-service integrations and theory-analysis features. Outside of code, Lars is an oboist and pianist who brings the same collaborative, iterative mindset to board games, outdoor adventures, and exploratory cooking.
