Madeline Griswold is a Software Engineer 2 based in San Francisco with a decade of hands-on experience building consumer-facing web and mobile products and founding a college-focused marketplace. She started coding at 13 and has a strong history of turning side projects—ranging from hands-free audio games to pandemic-era online dating—into shipped prototypes, reflecting a maker mentality and product intuition. At Brown she combined research (reinforcement learning for personalized education) with teaching and even delivered a TEDx talk on how CS shaped her confidence, signaling both technical depth and public-facing communication skills. Currently at Studio, she brings startup founder experience from Zaar plus prior engineering roles at Down Dog and Bloomberg, enabling her to move fluidly between full-stack implementation and product discovery. Notably, her long-term commitment to teaching coding to younger students demonstrates a rare combination of mentorship and entrepreneurial drive.
