Top SchoolJiefang L is a pragmatic software engineer based in Redmond with three years of professional experience building full-stack and developer tooling at Microsoft and in internships across startups and agencies.

Their background blends front-end React/GraphQL experience from Constant Contact and CommCreative with solid engineering practices like TDD and CI learned in production teams.
