Jessica Wang

Software Engineer

Hi! I'm currently working on a Microsoft AI project, where I explore how AI-powered features can be shaped into meaningful product experiences. I'm also a Lead Teaching Assistant for Data Structures and Algorithms course at the University of Washington, where I mentor students and help make complex concepts more approachable and intuitive.

Concurrently, I'm pursuing a B.S. in Informatics at the University of Washington and a minor in Business. I care deeply about the intersection of technology and people, and I'm especially interested in building thoughtful, user-centered systems that improve accessibility and promote inclusiveness. I'm always learning, asking better questions, and figuring out how technology can be used more intentionally.

In my free time, I enjoy cafe hopping or taking a workout class!

Feel free to reach out or connect!
