Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRosemary Yin is a Harvard Law third-year J.D. candidate and former software engineer who blends technical fluency with public-interest legal work. She has a decade of experience across product, backend, and QA roles—bringing hands-on engineering from Facebook and MongoDB to NASA and internships at Improbable and PrecisionLender. At MongoDB she contributed to the official Node.js driver by improving tests and adding array-filter support, showing a knack for reliable, well-documented backend work. Her legal experience spans civil rights, human trafficking, and appellate research at state and federal offices, and she now works on internet-and-society policy at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center. Comfortable translating between lawyers, engineers, and product teams, she combines data-driven product instincts with rigorous legal analysis. Unusually for a rising lawyer, she retains production software experience and open-source contributions that inform her tech-focused public-interest work.
