Lauren’s Software Engineering Qualifications

Experience level: Manager

10+ people coached for Software Engineering

Hi, I'm Lauren. I am a former senior software engineer at Google and current Stanford MBA. I'd love to help you grow your software engineering career! At Google I grew from a junior engineer to an engineering manager, touching a wide variety of systems. I led projects that spanned consumer and enterprise, scrappy prototyping to multi-year production scale projects, and from building the cloud to building on the cloud. At Waze, I led teams to launch innovative products like the Waze Parking and Gas Discount experiments, creating entirely new revenue streams that generated millions annually. I love coaching engineers through both technical and leadership growth, and have led several engineers on my team through successful promotions. I'd love to chat with you about how to grow your engineering career!
