Stephanie Lampkin VanPutten Biography

Stephanie Lampkin learnt to code at the age of 13. She was fluent in computer programming by the age of 15. She graduated from Stanford University with an engineering degree and from MIT with an MBA, but when she applied for a job at a well-known Silicon Valley computer business, she was informed her background wasn't technical enough. Stephanie was fortunate to secure a job at Microsoft, where she would spend the next five years working in a technical role. Stephanie, on the other hand, wondered whether her prior job rejection had anything to do with the fact that she is a Black woman. With this worry in the back of her mind, Lampkin decided to design a job matching tool with the goal of removing the race and gender issue from the tech industry job search. Blendoor is the name of the app. It allows job seekers in the technology sector to post their resumes and then hides their identity and photo from potential employers. According to Lampkin, the goal is to minimize bias by eliminating gender and race from the equation. Lampkin discovered throughout her research that, according to a National Bureau of Economic Research study, a white-sounding name might result in the same number of job callbacks as an additional eight years of experience for someone with an African-American sounding name.
