Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEmma Jiang is a Software Engineer II based in Mountain View with eight years of experience building accessible, production-ready web components and UI tooling. At Microsoft she progressed from intern to full-time engineer, shipping Fluent UI v9 components and a Theme Designer application that included algorithms for accessible color palettes and a11y utilities. Her open-source contributions to the widely used microsoft/fluentui repo include designing new layout and palette components and integrating token displays, reflecting a strong front-end focus on design-to-code fidelity. She pairs practical engineering with HCI research experience from Carnegie Mellon, where she prototyped AAC conversational tools powered by LLM suggestions. Outside work she’s led operations and development for student game projects, blending UX, animation, and real-time systems in Unity and Unreal. That mix of production component engineering, accessibility-first thinking, and applied research gives her a rare edge in crafting inclusive, polished UIs.
