Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMolly Domino is a software engineer turned graduate researcher with roughly a decade of experience building scalable, concurrent systems and tooling, now focused on improving CS education for novice programmers. After industry roles developing AWS-backed data pipelines, APIs, and high-concurrency modeling software, she pivoted to research at Virginia Tech where she studies how to make introductory programming more effective under Dr. Kafura and Prof. Ellis. Comfortable translating technical work for nontechnical stakeholders, she draws on hands-on teaching and mentoring—from college TA sessions to corporate Python training—to design practical, learner-centered interventions. With a BA in Computer Science and English and an appetite for turning industry lessons into evidence-based pedagogy, she’s weighing a Ph.D. while continuing to bridge software engineering and education research.
