Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Lu is a software engineer based in Berkeley with a decade of experience building front-end user experiences and test automation at Adobe, where he progressed from QA automation into product-facing engineering. He specializes in accessible, responsive UI work—contributing to Adobe’s react-spectrum by auditing prop types, refactoring ListView/TableView, and aligning mobile/desktop behaviors for components like SearchField, Autocomplete, and CardView. His background in QA automation gives him a practical bias for robust, testable code and bug-driven improvements. A UC Berkeley-trained mechanical engineer, he brings cross-disciplinary problem solving and mentorship experience from earlier tutoring roles. Peers describe him as detail-oriented and steady: the kind of engineer who improves both component APIs and the subtle layout/styling behaviors that make complex UI libraries feel polished.
