# Edina Horvath > Lead Software Engineer at Salesforce Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/edina I am a passionate and creative full-stack engineer, who thrives on building impactful, user-centric products. With extensive experience spanning the entire software development lifecycle - from ideation to delivering next-generation, scalable applications - I’ve have shipped, and also lead teams to deliver solutions that power high-traffic platforms. I love challenges, collaboration, spirited debate, crazy ideas, and I am motivated by shipping robust, well-tested, and scalable code. Solving complex problems is just as important to me as ensuring the solution is efficient, maintainable, and most of all delightful for our users. Recently, I’ve been exploring the dual impact of AI: boosting developer and team productivity, while also uncovering new opportunities to deliver greater value to our customers. I’m interested in leveraging AI to not only improve how we build products but also to elevate the overall user experience in meaningful ways. I am happy when I know that my work has a positive impact on people's lives.
