About Me

Hi, I'm Lauren, a full stack engineer from NYC. Currently, I'm working at Tono Health as a founding engineer, and am having a blast working at an early-stage company! Throughout my various roles, I've accumulated experience working with many frontend and backend frameworks, primarily using TypeScript.

I've previously worked at Twitter on the experimentation team as a Senior Software Engineer, and at Weight Watchers as a growth engineer. I also adjunct some semesters at New York University teaching a recitation of Data Structures to undergraduates. I love being able to teach college students and mentor early-career software engineers, and am hoping to start mentoring more young women early in their careers.

In my free time, I love to cook, play video games, draw, read, and write: both fiction and code. I like to dream big, and hope to someday publish a novel, and publish more games. In general, I'm a very open-minded person who loves to try new things.
