Electra Chong is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building customer-facing features and backend systems across startups and scale-ups in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently at Mux, she has a strong track record of shipping e-commerce and media features—at Grove Collaborative she led product ranking, checkout experiments, and frontend modernization efforts from Marionette/Backbone to Vue. Her open-source work on Scality's cloudserver shows deep familiarity with S3-compatible object storage, where she implemented AWS-compatible headers, versioning logic, and test-driven refinements that improved protocol compatibility. Comfortable spanning frontend, backend, and infrastructure, she pairs rapid iteration (two-week sprints) with cross-team coordination and pragmatic engineering guild leadership. An early background in linguistics and visual arts informs a thoughtful, user-focused approach to product design and documentation.
