About Aimee Lucido
I am a games writer at Bloomberg, a multi-published author, and a crossword puzzle maker. Currently, I\'m the writer for Bloomberg\'s news quiz: Pointed!In my 5 years as a full-time author I published two award-winning and critically-acclaimed novels and I have three more books coming out in 2024 and 2025. I have a particular affinity for distilling complex concepts into language simple enough for even the youngest minds to understand.In my 6 years as a software engineer (Uber, Facebook, and Google), I spearheaded high-impact projects across multiple Android apps while also contributing to the growth of the organization through tech talks, mentorship, and active leadership in the women in engineering communities.In my 12 years as a crossword puzzle maker I have published and edited hundreds of puzzles that can be found in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and my own published crossword puzzle book.
