Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSienna Wood is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of full-stack experience building readable, testable, and robust web applications and services, currently leading engineering work at Guild. She combines pragmatic engineering discipline with deep domain research—holding a PhD in musicology—and applies that expertise to semantic music encoding, digital editions, and teaching-informed tooling. Her background spans startups and open-source projects, from CRDT-powered peer-to-peer real-time systems to database-driven archival interfaces for film and media music collections. Known for designing forward-looking, maintainable solutions, she pairs hands-on implementation with stakeholder collaboration and a habit of first deeply understanding the problem context. As an unusual crossover, she leverages scholarly rigor from 15th–16th century musicology to inform metadata modeling and educational product design.
