Portrait of Corinne Kunze

a product-focused software engineering leader with an eye for design

View Portfolio Work History

10+ years leading full-stack engineering teams

I'm a full-stack software engineering leader who loves building intuitive, delightful software. These days I'm a Lead Software Engineer at New Relic, where I drive product strategy alongside full-stack delivery — from shaping roadmaps to shipping the code myself.

My background is in Full Stack Development, with deep roots in Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and React across more than a decade of shipping production applications. My educational background is in graphic web design, so I care as much about the experience and interface as I do about the architecture underneath it.

Outside of my day job, I take on technical consulting projects in my local community around Portland and Columbia River Gorge — helping small businesses with SEO, web application development, and the miscellaneous technical problems that come with running businesses online.

I live in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge with my wife and two daughters.

Testimonials

“Corinne is one of the most capable technical leaders I've worked with in my career. I completely trust her impeccable judgement on architecture and user experience. She has deeply and tenaciously solved every technical challenge I've seen her encounter. She has also successfully negotiated the sometimes difficult and ambiguous relationships between teams and leaders in large engineering organizations. She can bring multiple teams together to build compelling user experiences with high quality on top of sophisticated, high-scalability distributed systems. She's also a lot of fun to work with, and works hard to make her team successful through her leadership and mentoring. I would love the chance to work with Corinne again in the future!”
