Summary
🎓
Top SchoolYukyung Jung is a full-stack software engineer with eight years of experience building scalable web applications and improving user-facing interfaces, currently contributing at Google from Mountain View. She blends a strong frontend focus in React and UI component work—evident from meaningful contributions to the open-source CDAP UI—with backend expertise in Node, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and AWS, having optimized a stock-history microservice to handle 1K+ rps and cut query times dramatically. Her background in rigorous scientific research (PhD-level chemistry at Cornell and a BSc from MIT) gives her a quantitative, experimental approach to performance tuning and system design. She’s practiced in shipping modular microservices with Docker and NGINX, and in communicating complex ideas for broad audiences through prior content work at Khan Academy. Colleagues value her for turning ambiguous problems into pragmatic, testable solutions that improve both developer and user experience.
