Jessica Koch is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building front-end focused, cross-platform solutions using TypeScript, React, JavaScript and modern mobile stacks (Kotlin/Swift). She has contributed to Microsoft Teams libraries and won a Microsoft hackathon for a Quiver-inspired notetaking app, even presenting twice at Microsoft Build—demonstrating both technical depth and public-facing advocacy for women in tech. Her work spans modernizing large mono-repos, building scalable real-time experiences (a 500-player co-authoring game), and raising test coverage and component reuse across teams. Comfortable across web, iOS and Android, she rapidly ramped on new languages to deliver cross-platform SDK features ahead of schedule. A former bootcamp graduate turned mentor, she pairs hands-on engineering with teaching and inclusive design advocacy. Outside code, she channels a fearless, adventurous spirit—scuba diving, hang gliding, and fostering huskies—which informs her user-centered, resilient approach to problem solving.
