Margaret Parsa is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building Rails and React applications from Boston–area startups to mission-driven platforms. She has advanced through hands-on engineering roles at PatientsLikeMe, Mentor Collective, and ActBlue Technical Services, where she focused on reliable, user-facing systems and later took on senior engineering responsibilities. Based in Somerville, MA, Margaret combines technical depth with organizational leadership, currently serving on the Bridge Foundry Board of Directors and previously chairing its communications committee. Her background in public relations and philosophy informs a strong emphasis on clear documentation, stakeholder communication, and product empathy—skills that help her bridge engineering and nontechnical teams. An active GitHub user (eudaimonious), she maintains a practice of open coding and continuous learning that complements her production experience. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver who surfaces practical solutions while mentoring others and stewarding inclusive technical communities.
