Julia Kodysh joined the COVID Tracking Project as a developer in the early days, and was a lead on the Data Infrastructure team focusing on internal tooling and data processing. In her parallel life, she is a computational scientist at Mount Sinai Health System, working on cutting-edge personalized cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. Julia's prior experience includes leading a team as a data engineer at Oscar Health and working as a senior software engineer at Google with a focus on data infrastructure and healthcare-related initiatives.
