Rachel’s background includes backend system design, migration projects, and introducing engineering best practices (dependency injection, AutoValue) from her time at Rent The Runway and FactSet. She combines hands-on coding with people leadership and technical mentorship, having led small teams and driven large-scale platform improvements. Based in Chicago, she pairs academic training in computer science with pragmatic experience converting research-grade ideas into reliable, scalable services.
