Hi! 👋 I’m Lina (pronounced /LEE-nuh/).
I’ve worked across the stack for a decade, on apps, frameworks, system services, and cloud servers. I like to “make the whole widget,” from the platform to the user experience.
I love the craft of software engineering, with a focus on distributed systems, syncing, and storing user data. My happiest place is working at the intersection of multiple teams and technologies.
I’m a “confident dabbler”, with a knack for learning new languages and platforms, but I have a fondness for Rust, Kotlin, Swift, (Objective-) C/C++, and JavaScript.
A few years ago, I led a project to modernize bookmark syncing in Firefox. I’ve also worked on iOS and macOS core services that power App Privacy Report and Shared Passwords and Passkeys.
I dropped out of an English degree to write software professionally, and love connecting with other folks from non-traditional (and traditional!) backgrounds in tech.
Thanks for stopping by!
