Top SchoolSako Pak is a software engineer based in Seattle with five years of experience building full-stack web applications using JavaScript, React, Node, Express, MongoDB and Python.

Motivated by personal experience—her husband’s vision loss—she is deeply committed to accessible, inclusive product design and applies that empathy to practical, user-centered solutions. A General Assembly graduate who completed intensive full-stack training and shipped multiple rapid-sprint apps, she now contributes to production work at Microsoft.
