Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKana Abe is a Senior Fullstack Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building product-facing web platforms at Spotify, Glossier, Artsy, and Sailthru. She combines hands-on front-end craftsmanship—contributing UI features to Artsy's flagship artsy/force site—with leadership experience as a tech lead and engineering manager. Her work spans fullstack delivery for consumer-facing newsletters, signup flows, and publishing systems at scale. Unusually for a software engineer, she pairs a BA in Computer Science and Visual Art with published computer-vision research and an annotated dataset of 1,710 paintings, bringing a design-forward, data-informed perspective to engineering problems. That blend of creative research and pragmatic product work makes her effective at translating visual and UX considerations into robust code.
