Summary
Julia Neizonek is a Staff Software Engineer and builder with 11 years of experience combining machine learning, backend systems, and product leadership across startups and FANG—most recently at Cambly and previously as a tech lead at Google and senior engineering manager at Lark Health. She co-founded Teleo, where she was the sole developer for the first two years, leading product, fundraising, and an app that enables real-time collaboration and streaming for pediatric behavioral health. Comfortable moving between hands-on implementation and strategic direction, she’s shipped ML-driven language understanding systems, scalable health platforms used by millions, and consumer apps acquired by larger players. Based in San Francisco with an MS in Symbolic Systems from Stanford, she blends research-minded NLP expertise with pragmatic product instincts and a track record of growing teams and productionizing models. An under-the-radar strength is her habit of owning full project lifecycles—from user research through infrastructure—making her equally effective as a founder, manager, and individual contributor.
