Top SchoolSarah Zakarias is a Software Engineer with 13 years of experience at Google, combining deep back-end expertise with iOS-focused mobile engineering for major open-source projects. She has made notable contributions to the Flutter engine and plugins (including url_launcher and Firebase Storage) enabling iOS navigation, asset handling and metadata features, and has worked on core Dart tooling like pub and pub.dev backend services. With a PhD-era research background from Aarhus University and early teaching experience, she brings rigorous problem-solving and attention to correctness to production systems.
