Veronica Straszheim is a software engineer with 17 years’ experience who champions functional, declarative programming and domain-specific languages to make complex systems easier to understand and evolve. Now at Google working on QPX flight search, she has a track record building novel, many-layered architectures—most notably leading Clojure-based mobile content adaptation at Akamai after Velocitude’s acquisition. Her expertise spans LISP-family languages (Clojure, Haskell), Datalog and dataflow techniques, alongside practical experience in Java, Python, Perl and JavaScript. Known for creating custom DSLs, parsers and DOM-query tools, she focuses on correctness and adaptability in hard-problem domains where conventional OO approaches fall short. Based in Boston, she pairs deep theory with production-hardened engineering and a preference for declarative solutions that shorten response cycles and outpace competitors.
