Summary
Nora Shapiro is a software engineer based in San Francisco with two years of professional engineering experience and a background in backend development and data-driven research. She currently contributes to Sentry and has a strong history building scalable Django-based APIs, databases, caching, and resilient fallback systems for government health services at Healthy Together. Nora pairs production-grade engineering with a scientist’s rigor—her earlier neuroscience research and PhD candidacy trained her in careful experimentation, data analysis, and complex troubleshooting. She learned full‑stack web development through Hackbright Academy and has shipped features that integrate third‑party APIs, improve notifications, and reduce latency for mobile and web clients. Comfortable moving between research, backend architecture, and cross-team collaboration, she brings a habit of methodical problem solving and attention to reliability that’s informed by both lab and production environments.
