About Lara Kelley
Currently working in an ever-evolving role at Higharc. In the past, I’ve had the pleasure of working for companies in a variety of industries; everything from Onshape, a cloud-based 3D CAD startup, to ezCater, the world\'s largest corporate catering marketplace, to the Democratic Socialists of America, a prominent left-wing political organization.I have experience wearing any hat asked of me - software developer, designer, customer-facing representative of engineering teams, and am capable of many design and product management responsibilities as well, including making static or interactive mockups, gathering requirements, seeing a feature through beta testing, and helping put out a fire by talking to customers.Outside of work, I consider myself somewhere between a serious hobbyist and semi-professional when it comes to playing music! I play a variety of flutes, clarinets, and saxophones, and have performed in venues ranging from Brooklyn dive bars, to Mardi Gras parades, to community theatres, to Carnegie Hall. I primarily play bass clarinet in the Brooklyn Wind Symphony, but I also have my own jazz combo, and participate in a variety of brass bands and other acts in NYC.
