Top SchoolLenna Kindel is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years building video, streaming, and rich interactive web experiences, now focusing on UX, data visualization, and accessibility in cybersecurity. She has driven media playback, live streaming, captions and analytics at scale—leading teams and technical roadmaps at Twitter and Wistia and authoring or maintaining HLS.js-based playback and SDKs. Equally comfortable as a hands-on engineer and tech lead, she blends deep front-end expertise (React, TypeScript, d3) with backend and deployment experience (Node, Docker, AWS) to ship reliable, test-automated products. A longtime advocate for accessibility and inclusive teams, she has implemented CVAA-compliant captioning and run diversity workshops. Based in Boston, she pairs pragmatic prototyping skills from her early Flash and HTML5 roots with modern web architecture to solve tricky media and UX problems.
