Leah Gerald is a software engineer with 8 years of experience building production systems at companies from T. Rowe Price to TrialSpark and currently Cash App, combining financial and healthcare domain exposure. She transitioned from a pre-med STEM path into software via the Grace Hopper immersive program and holds an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, bringing a unique blend of biomedical insight and technical rigor. Leah is driven by improving healthcare accessibility and privacy—her personal motto reframes the Hippocratic oath to prioritize doing no harm and protecting patient data—which informs her product and engineering decisions. Comfortable across the full stack, she pairs hands-on coding with teaching experience as a Grace Hopper teaching fellow and a history of mentoring students in research labs. Colleagues describe her as curious about patterns across natural and technological systems and eager to apply new technologies to empower people.
