Summary
Sarah Regan is a software engineer with eight years of experience combining scientific programming and production web development, currently focused on back-end systems in health tech. After six years building experimental code in MATLAB to probe retinal networks, she transitioned to industry to deliver impactful products quickly and reliably, specialising in TypeScript/Node.js over the past three years. She has shipped features across full-stack and back-end roles at startups like Isla Health and Gaia, bringing a strong appreciation for regulatory quality and high-throughput approaches that drive rapid growth. Comfortable learning new languages (Python, Java, JavaScript) and tools, she pairs domain-driven thinking from her doctoral research with pragmatic engineering to translate complex requirements into production services. An eye for both product vision and implementation helps her bridge research-grade rigor and startup velocity.
