Top SchoolYani Metaxas is a Senior Engineer with 12 years of experience building data-driven developer platforms and analytics tooling, currently shaping Spotify’s Workbench and maintaining Lexikon, the company’s Backstage data discovery system. She has driven data-layer migrations, built autocomplete and search improvements for analytics workflows, and prototyped generative-AI solutions like a Slack bot that maps natural language questions to data endpoints.

Based in New York, she combines product-focused engineering with hands-on delivery, having led payments, reporting, and compliance-related pipelines earlier in her career.
