Summary
Jenny Mei is a founder and software engineer with 8 years of experience building production-grade systems and AI-driven tooling from startup incubators to large platforms. A UC Berkeley double-major in Mechanical Engineering and EECS, she led swarm robotics research as an undergrad and later shipped high-adoption features at Roblox—where 72% of users set her dashboard as their default. She founded Metropolize AI to apply LLMs to procedural content generation for games, winning the $50,000 grand prize at Berkeley’s 2023 AI Hackathon and joining Berkeley SkyDeck’s Pad-13 cohort. Her background spans full-stack microservices, DevOps, embedded-sensor physics modeling for exoskeleton metrics, and curriculum-level teaching, reflecting a rare mix of product intuition, research rigor, and delivery focus. Notably, she moves fluidly between low-level simulation and scalable cloud services, translating complex algorithms into tools that non-technical creators can use.
