Summary
Amanda Olczak is a software engineer in Oakland with a 10-year career blending front-end development and a formal background in architecture and design. She leverages spatial thinking from her MArch and BS in Architecture to craft interfaces that balance aesthetics, structure, and user interaction. Amanda has progressed through senior and staff engineering roles across startups and enterprise teams—including Ford, Censys, Panther, Genomenon, and currently Endor Labs—shipping user-facing systems that integrate with complex back-end services. She brings product-minded craftsmanship from running her own design studio, where she combined web development, branding, and hosting services for clients. Colleagues rely on her to translate design intent into maintainable code and to bridge gaps between visual design and scalable implementation. Her uncommon mix of architectural training and production engineering lets her see both the macro structure and the pixel-level details of digital products.
