Lena Banks
Software Engineer, Handshake
Denver
Based in Denver, CO, Lena is passionate about translating DE&I principles into technical architecture. She is a Senior Software Engineer at Handshake, an early talent recruiting platform with the mission of democratizing opportunity for all students. There she leads a team whose responsibilities include implementing filters that help employers search for underrepresented candidates. She also co-leads the LGBTQ+ ERG, and is a constant advocate for addressing queer issues, and inclusive, empathetic development. Outside of tech, she loves skiing, hiking, gaming (donning her witch hat for a D&D session), and other nerdy things, as well as spending time with her partner, pupper, and kitty.
