Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRebecca Roach is a multidisciplinary founder and software engineer based in Seattle with nine years of experience blending creative practice and technical skill. She transitioned from full-time engineering at Lyft to running Stem and Story, a studio that uses floral design and workshops to help women cultivate creativity, joy, and self-compassion. Trained through Ada Developers Academy and experienced in Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and React, she pairs practical full‑stack chops with a background in MFA poetry and product-minded creative ventures. Her earlier projects—like Trubadour, a poetry-tech startup and card game—showcase a pattern of turning literary craft into accessible digital and analog experiences. Comfortable shipping production software and facilitating intimate, artful learning experiences, she bridges analytical engineering processes with empathetic community building. Not obvious from her title: she applies editorial precision from years as a writer and startup storyteller to shape clear, human-centered products and workshops.
