Leah Roderman

Director of Operations / Web Applications Architect

Leah first consulted with CodeMagi while working with the International Data Group's web publications division and joined the team while she earned her Masters degree. She has since gained further experience working for the public sector and professional sports, and returned to CodeMagi to tackle the growing need for operations logistics management.

Leah works out of CodeMagi's Oakland, CA office and tries to get out during lunch for a hike in one of the nearby beautiful parks in the Oakland hills. She has an abiding interest in maps and enjoys playing with different flavors of web-enabled GIS and mapping software, the most recent favorite being Google Earth.
