Lauren Davidson

Lauren joined Cast Iron in 2021 after five years in an education innovation space, where she built the center’s capacity for web development, designing custom games and interfaces for courses in partnership with faculty clients. Lauren works primarily in JavaScript and React and enjoys the challenge of moving from a client’s vision to the logic of an application. She holds a PhD in philosophy, has developed tools for teaching critical thinking, and looking back, isn’t surprised that she fell for web development. Frontend blends logic and design in a particularly satisfying way. Away from the computer, you can often find Lauren upside down. She trains in a variety of circus disciplines including rope, sling, and handstands.
