Software Engineer

Hello, I'm Lennart. I'm a principal software engineer with 10+ years of professional experience based in sunny Southern California. I'm at VideoAmp on the Infrastructure and Security engineering team. Previously, I was at Yelp, where I worked on the data streaming infrastructure powering their Kafka-based pipeline. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and a B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College.

Feel free to send me an email if you'd like to get in touch.
