Summary
Laurence Putterman is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building scalable systems at Google from his base in Seattle. He brings full‑stack expertise—React/Redux frontends, SQL optimization, Elasticsearch, Redis/S3 delivery—and a track record of measurable impact, such as cutting a tutoring algorithm’s runtime from 15 hours to 20 minutes and trimming page load and payload size on a content‑heavy app. Comfortable across startups and research settings, he has owned products end-to-end as the sole engineer at Expii and contributed to academic tooling like the Pitt Quantum Repository. He’s actively exploring machine learning and NLP, and balances technical curiosity with creative pursuits—producing electronic music and playing cello for 16 years—which often fuels unconventional problem solving.
