Senior🎓
Top SchoolLauren Zou is a Staff Software Engineer at Google with 12 years of experience building polished front-end experiences and scalable web interfaces. A Columbia CS graduate with a math concentration, she began tinkering with HTML/CSS in fifth grade and carried that UI-first curiosity into a career focused on front-end engineering within large-scale systems. At Google she progressed from intern to staff engineer, contributing to ad-facing visualizations and product UIs that balance performance and usability. Her background spans full-stack work—Java backends, ElasticSearch-powered search, and JavaScript-heavy front ends—giving her a pragmatic view of cross-layer tradeoffs. She also has a history of mentoring and teaching, from TAing data structures to tutoring peers, which informs how she coaches engineers on design and code quality. Based in New York, she combines system-level discipline with a designer’s eye for front-end polish.
