Profile: https://flows.cv/irenen

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer at a fast-paced startup with experience leading high-impact product initiatives across financial workflows, internal tooling, and AI-powered user experiences. I’ve driven projects ranging from self-service software cost capitalization to manager/IC alignment tools that improved visibility into team goals and outcomes.

Most recently, I’ve been building an LLM-powered Jellyfish Assistant to help users navigate our engineering management platform, surface metrics, and accelerate onboarding through conversational AI.

Outside of my core role, I lead a graduate-level cognitive science course as the Head TA and course developer, managing a 17-person TA team for up to 700 students. I’m passionate about building scalable systems, empowering teams, and using technology to make complex information more accessible.
