Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLauren Ciha is a software engineer with six years of hands-on experience building UX-focused tools, APIs, and interactive systems across VR, desktop, and web platforms. A University of Wisconsin–Madison computer science and philosophy student, she moved from learning C# on a VR research project to shipping production APIs at Microsoft and UI panels at Cirrus Logic, and deployed a Flask-based portfolio site during an MLH fellowship. She has strong cross-disciplinary collaboration skills—working with researchers, designers, and hardware engineers—and a knack for simplifying developer experience, demonstrated by a cross-API error-handling mechanism and CI/CD automation. Lauren combines curiosity-driven problem solving with practical engineering: she reduced line complexity by 75% in a robotics app and built prototypes that bridge web and native Windows via WinUI 3. Based in Seattle and graduating soon, she’s eager to keep saying “yes” to new technical challenges.
