Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJerry Fu is a full-stack software engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience and a focus on mission-driven products in healthcare, science, and education. He specializes in React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and GraphQL, and is known for tackling the "boring" but critical layers like testing infrastructure and CI/CD to accelerate team velocity. At CZI he cut E2E test times by 90%, built resilient upload flows for low-bandwidth researchers, and led GraphQL federation efforts to bridge legacy and microservice systems. He increasingly applies AI tooling (e.g., Claude APIs) to solve real engineering problems rather than just for autocomplete. Based in Redwood City, he pairs deep technical craft with a user-centered approach and an appetite for travel hacking and high-performance paddling.
