# Megan Belzner > Staff Software Engineer, Privacy.com Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/meganbelzner I'm a software engineer with a strong attention to detail and a passion for figuring things out and teaching others. I have professional experience with Javascript (Node, Vue, React, AngularJS, Backbone) and PHP, as well as limited professional and hobby experience in Python (including Django) and C++, but I'm up for learning just about any language or framework you can throw at me. I love working across the stack, and am comfortable writing a complex SQL query or diving into CSS. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer, Privacy.com @ Lithic Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Senior Software Engineer, Privacy.com @ Lithic Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Engineering Lead, Product Engineering @ Lithic Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Software Engineer @ Lithic Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Software Engineer @ Skillshare Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Greater New York City Area • Led 5-engineer Core UX pod, responsible for facilitating timely and predictable delivery of projects, maintaining high code quality and mentoring other engineers on the structure and practices of our codebase, and partnering with product manager to plan work, coordinate with business stakeholders, and represent the pod externally. • Helped start an engineering apprenticeship program, assisting with setting the program’s structure and hiring our inaugural apprentice, including screening resumes and conducting interviews.
