Summary
Pei-yao Hung is a software developer and HCI researcher with 11 years of experience building human-centered interactive systems across healthcare, education, exhibitions, and public interest technology. She blends hands-on full-stack skills (JavaScript/React, Node, Python, SQL/NoSQL) with rigorous research methods to co-design multilingual, inclusive digital products—most notably a tri-lingual cancer screening decision aid that attracts thousands of weekly visitors. Comfortable leading cross-disciplinary teams, she has driven product strategy, agile delivery, and technical refactoring to enable parallel development and faster iteration. Her work uniquely ties long-term ethnographic engagement (including month-long co-designs with patients) to production deployments, demonstrating measurable impacts from autism therapy games to public-health simulation tools. Based in Ann Arbor, she mentors students and junior engineers while continuing to explore “what if” design questions that improve people’s everyday stories.
