Women, Tech, and Everything Else

Gayle Laakmann

After three internships at Microsoft, one internship at Apple, and three years at Google, Gayle Laakmann decided that she'd spent enough time at the biggies. She left Google with best wishes to her co-workers and went out to explore the world. She spent six weeks in Argentina and three weeks in Asia. Gayle is now back in Seattle exploring the startup scene.

Projects & Activities

Gayle Laakmann spends her time working on CareerCup and Seattle Anti-Freeze. CareerCup is a source for technical interviews, job postings, interview training, and more. Seattle Anti-Freeze is a company Gayle founded a year ago that organizes parties and other events for people in their 20s and 30s.

April Fools Day

I'm embarrassed to admit that I almost fell for Gmail custom time. I thought "oh, that's sort of sketchy"... and then I quickly remembered it's April Fools day. Nice try, guys :-).

I think this is my favorite testimonial:

"I used to be an honest person; but now I don't have to be. It's just so much easier this way. I've gained a lot of productivity by not having to think about doing the 'right' thing."
