Top SchoolJacky Zhao is a Frontend Engineer based in Berkeley with nine years of experience building polished, user-focused web applications and developer tooling. He blends a CS background from UC Berkeley with an art degree to craft interfaces that balance elegant interaction design and robust engineering. At TikTok he led the frontend effort for privacy and safety portals and mentored new engineers, and he now contributes to scaling developer-facing ML deployment workflows—most notably improving BentoML’s Lambda logging, containerization, and Helm integrations. Jacky’s open-source work spans UI-heavy projects like the Quartz static-site generator and backend-adjacent MLOps improvements, reflecting a rare cross-over between distributed systems thinking and front-end craftsmanship. Outside work he draws from a background in illustration and Japanese studies, a combination that informs his empathetic approach to product UX and developer experience.
