Sarah Zhao is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with eight years of experience building full‑stack web applications and teaching emerging developers. She transitioned from a technical field engineering career in oil and gas into software after intensive study at Fullstack Academy, and she has shipped production features across React, Node.js, GraphQL/Rails, and mobile platforms while at Call9 and Lattice. As a frequent instructor and mentor at Fullstack, she pairs hands‑on engineering with a knack for explaining complex concepts—helping students and peers move from idea to deployable product. Her background in chemical engineering and field operations gives her a systems‑level perspective and a pragmatic focus on reliability and safety in software design. Outside work she’s a self-taught tinkerer (her solo socket.io + React project simulating multiplayer SET hints at playful experimentation), and she thrives on untangling tricky technical knots.
