Kathryn Koehler

I'm thrilled to welcome Kathryn Koehler, Director of Developer Productivity Engineering at Netflix. At Netflix, her teams focus on the development environment and associated experiences that enable developers to bootstrap, code, build, test, debug, and maintain software more effectively and efficiently. Leading an 80-person developer productivity engineering team within Netflix's 150-person platform organization, she's responsible for creating the "developer front door" — a command center that abstracts away all the Netflix-isms so developers can focus on their domain of excellence. Before Netflix, she was VP of Engineering for the Science Initiative at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, where her teams built applications, tools, and platforms for biomedical researchers to accelerate scientific discovery. She has worked across diverse industries including productivity, entertainment, gaming, automotive, and finance.
