Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLisa Harrylock is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with eight years of experience building scalable full-stack systems and improving team productivity and code quality. She has driven resilient, large-scale services at Microsoft — from a fault-tolerant push notification pipeline and live data migrations into Cosmos DB to leading production Copilot-powered chat apps — and now continues that work at BlackSky. Comfortable across C#, TypeScript/React, Java, and cloud platforms, she combines API and storage ownership with pragmatic design choices that reduced friction for hundreds of pull requests and enabled third parties to ship custom chat experiences quickly. An active contributor to Microsoft’s semantic-kernel, she implemented named-argument support in the .NET template engine and fixed deployment issues in Copilot Chat samples, reflecting a knack for both core platform features and real-world operational fixes. Trained in bioengineering at the University of Washington, she brings a data-driven, systems-oriented mindset rooted in research-grade tooling and automation.
