Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSarah Forst is an Engineering Manager based in New York with 13 years of experience leading front-end teams and shipping production web experiences. She progressed from design- and interactive-focused roles into leadership at Bloomberg, where she served as Team Lead before becoming an Engineering Manager. Her background at Isobar as an Interactive Architect and contributions to the isobar-us/code-standards repo highlight a strong emphasis on front-end craftsmanship—migrating CSS to SCSS, modernizing build tools, and adding responsive design. Colleagues know her for turning messy stylesheets and legacy layouts into maintainable, class-based systems that scale. She combines design sensibility (teaching experience at the School of Visual Arts) with hands-on engineering discipline to bridge product, UX, and delivery.
