Lauren Abramsky

Hello! I’m a Software Developer from Toronto, Canada and currently based in London, UK.

As an enthusiastic & empathetic engineer and public speaker, I care about connecting people and building high-quality, inclusive products that change workplaces for the better.

Coming from a computer science degree and a tech consulting background, I’m an avid & quick learner who’s willing to jump into new technologies and frameworks to create meaningful solutions to solve difficult and often systemic problems. Previously at Deloitte Digital, I managed teams and developed enterprise JavaScript and iOS apps, working end to end with clients across many industries.

In my pivot to start-ups, I was a Software Developer at Vault Platform, where I had an influential role building Vault’s React Native employee reporting app and the React case management platform. I’ve turned my own experiences reporting harassment into insights that can help others through the reporting process.

I'm currently part of the engineering team at Organise, leading the front-end React development of a new Network platform, used by 200K+ workers monthly to support campaigns & improve their life at work.

Alongside this work, I decided to share my story of reporting harassment publicly by speaking at women in tech events and a global conference. My goal is to break the stigma around workplace misconduct and give others the message I needed to hear when I was going through it: you are not alone. I’m incredibly honoured to have recently been shortlisted for the “Advocate of the Year” award at the Women in IT Awards UK 2021.
