Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoanna Qu is a Software Engineer 2 at Microsoft with six years of hands-on experience building cross-platform UI and test automation for large-scale component libraries. While completing a Computer Science degree at the University of Michigan, she shipped a React Native FluentUI Notification control and contributed to Microsoft’s FluentUI repos by implementing new components and robust XCUITests for iOS/macOS demos. Her background spans C/C++, Python, C#, TypeScript, and React Native, and she has experience across roles from intern to full-time engineer and test automation specialist. Joanna combines front-end component design with a strong emphasis on quality engineering, often refactoring and expanding component behavior (optional titles, icons, pressable actions) while adding thorough test coverage. Based in the New York City area, she brings a proven ability to move features from prototype to production within large engineering orgs. An uncommon strength is her fluency switching between product-focused implementation and low-level QA automation, enabling faster, more reliable releases.
