Summary
Lili Manrique is a Senior Software Engineer in Denver with six years of experience building scalable backend systems and interactive educational platforms. She combines a human-centered grounding in anthropology, bilingual teaching experience, and recruitment savvy to design accessible, linguistically responsive applications that prioritize learning outcomes. At AbsenceSoft and PlayPosit she drove serverless AWS architectures, API design, and containerization to improve file processing scalability and reduce production errors, and now leads engineering work at KPA. Known for shipping low-bug PRs and refactoring noisy observability into reliable pipelines, she brings both attention to detail and a knack for cross-functional collaboration. Her trajectory from classroom teacher to Turing graduate to senior engineer gives her an uncommon blend of pedagogy-driven product empathy and production-grade technical skill.
