DECIPHERING THE CODE

 

Decoding one of Silicon Valley's sharpest entrepreneurs. A chat with Leah Culver


You might know her as the co-founder of one of Silicon Valley's hottest (and recently acquired) startups, Pownce, or her internet fame for laser-etching a laptop. Whatever the case, you probably want to know Leah Culver, and now is your chance to hear what she has to say. Sharing her journey from a computer science major at the University of Minnesota to a successful entrepreneur, Leah is going to give us insight on what it's like to be a lead programmer at a social networking startup and being one of the only well-known women software engineers in Silicon Valley.


More about Leah: Leah Culver was a co-founder and the lead developer of the social network and micro-blogging website Pownce, which was acquired by blog juggernaut Six Apart in November 2008. Now a software engineer at Six Apart, Leah uses her experience with Pownce to develop large scale social applications for future Six Apart projects. While creating the Pownce API she co-authored both the OAuth and OEmbed open API specifications and now maintains the popular Python OAuth library. Leah promotes open source, APIs, and the Django web framework on her blog at leahculver.com. In her free time she likes to play around with new technology and try new restaurants near her home in San Francisco.

More about SixApart: Since 2001, Six Apart has enabled millions of individuals, media companies and enterprises to create blogs and form rich, interactive communities. We now power conversations among passionate people and leading organizations around the globe, and provide services and media solutions to help bloggers to be more successful. That might sound like a lot, but we're just getting started.
