Joyce Ma is a software engineer in San Francisco with seven years’ experience building high-performance web apps, specializing in real-time video and audio communication. At Twilio she was a core contributor to the widely used twilio-video.js SDK—improving performance by 30%, reducing downtime and support requests, and adding features like Chrome tab sharing and TypeScript definitions used by 100,000+ developers. She combines front-end expertise (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, CSS) with back-end skills (Node.js, AWS, SQL, Docker) and strong testing practices (Jest, Cypress, Mocha/Chai). Joyce has a track record of optimizing systems for scale—benchmarked databases, horizontally scaled services to 1,000 RPS, and cut database latency by 95% on a reservations module. A former Hack Reactor resident and mentor, she enjoys translating deep technical improvements into better developer and user experiences.
