Top SchoolShavina Chau is a software engineer with four years of experience building user-facing web applications and APIs, grounded in dual B.S. degrees from MIT in Computer Science & Engineering and Comparative Media Studies. She blends front-end expertise in React, TypeScript, and Tailwind with backend and cloud work—having implemented serverless APIs, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, and Kotlin Spring Boot services for production systems. As a contributor to notable open-source projects like Passport (decentralized identity UI) and Gitcoin's grants-stack, she has shipped UI-driven features, tooling (ESLint/Prettier/Husky), and Web3 wallet integrations. Comfortable in both greenfield builds and large legacy codebases, she favors test-driven development and pair programming to deliver predictable, maintainable features. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, she pairs technical rigor with a design-minded perspective from her comparative media background, which shows up in polished UI work and thoughtful product documentation.
