Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoyce Zhu is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in accessibility with 11 years of engineering experience and a dual BA/BS in Music and Computer Science from the University of Rochester (magna cum laude). She currently leads accessibility efforts at GitHub, having previously reduced VPAT audit bugs dramatically at Quip by driving architecture, mentorship, and cross-product testing to achieve near-WCAG Reflow support. Joyce combines deep front-end and native app release engineering experience with hands-on work in parsers, payment/ecommerce integrations, and developer tooling. Based in Cambridge, MA, she pairs a rigorous CS background with a musician’s attention to detail, frequently debugging high-touch customer issues and filing browser/screen-reader bugs to improve real-world compatibility. Her profile reflects a steady focus on accessible systems design and team enablement rather than broad public open-source promotion.
