Making Software That 's Paper
New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictoria Kirst is a seasoned software engineer and leader with over a decade of experience building browsers, maps, VR, and creator tools across Google, The Browser Company, and Glitch. She blends hands-on full‑stack engineering (Chromium, Swift, NextJS/TypeScript, C++) with product and org-level leadership, having driven release systems, recruitment, and cross-functional processes at principal and VP levels. Currently on a planned sabbatical, she’s turned her focus to indie product work that bridges code and craft—launching a 50‑page zine, thermal‑printer projects, and a Mac app for mini printers while teaching and writing about paper culture. Her background in shipping foundational web media features at Chromium and leading WebRTC and VR initiatives gives her a rare mix of low-level systems know-how and consumer product instincts. She’s motivated by teaching diverse learners to code and by designing tools that let makers turn digital ideas into heartfelt paper objects.
