Summary
Jane Kim is a contract software engineer in Los Angeles with 11 years of experience blending QA, frontend engineering, and developer experience improvements across startups and defense-focused R&D. She moved from founding automation roles into full-stack and frontend work, driving measurable impact like cutting CI times nearly in half, expanding market support for a white-label product by 60%, and replacing costly third-party dashboards with in-house tooling. Comfortable in Python, TypeScript, React, and embedded instrument control, she modernizes legacy systems—from QuickBASIC migrations to replacing GPIB hardware links—and builds practical tooling that saves teams time. Regularly using AI-assisted tooling in her workflow, she pairs pragmatic automation with product-minded frontend craft, and holds an MS in Computer Science.
