Profile: https://flows.cv/amandamcnary

tl;dr: SWE at Google since 2016, people manager since 2021. Specialist in frontend development (esp. Angular 2+/typescript), energy applications, problem solving, and building teams.

I'm a staff engineering manager at Google, currently leading Trust and Safety for the search serving backend. I previously led the technical operations engineering team in Google Research building internal tools that track, manage, and provide insights into the broad portfolio of projects under the Research umbrella.

Previously, I spent 3 years at Google X as a founding SWE on Tapestry, X's moonshot for the electric grid. I managed a team of 5 and led end-to-end product development for multiple web applications serving internal and industry users. I also led engineering execution and helped grow the team to 35 people.

My role before X was back at Google working on Google Fi (and for a brief moment in time, Google Fiber) working primarily on web development. I was a major technical contributor to Fi's rebrand from Project Fi to Google Fi, over a dozen launches for new device support, as well as the initial launch of Messages for Web (messages.google.com/web).

I graduated from Stanford University (class of 2015/16). I received a double Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Atmosphere/Energy Engineering, as well as my Master's degree in Atmosphere/Energy Engineering (CEE). I am interested in software-based applications related to energy storage, electrified transportation, and renewable resource integration.
