Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSavina Xu is a San Francisco–based software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in JavaScript-driven front-end development and polished UX. She blends visual communication and design thinking with pragmatic full‑stack skills—React, Redux, Node/Express, MongoDB—and has shipped responsive, performant web apps in both startup and large-company environments, including Apple and Fleetsmith. At Homestay she led a team to build a production booking app, cutting initial load times by 80% through effective caching and delivering secure session management with JWT and bcrypt. Her background is unusually multidisciplinary: a Master’s in Web Design & New Media, a UC Berkeley full‑stack certificate, and prior medical experience as a cardiologist, which informs her disciplined, detail‑oriented approach to engineering. She maintains an active portfolio and GitHub, and enjoys conversations about design-forward engineering over coffee (or e‑coffee).
