Summary
Zage Strassberg-Phillips is a Software Engineer II at Stripe and a University of Washington MS student in Computer Science and Engineering with eight years of experience building full-stack systems, firmware features, and research prototypes. He blends backend and frontend fluency (Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript/React) with embedded and firmware work from internships at Cisco Meraki and projects involving TCAM visibility and event logging. Zage has shipped production features at Microsoft and Stripe, taught database management, and contributed to multidisciplinary research on conservation mapping and brain–computer interfaces. He enjoys solving engineering problems as puzzles—debugging hardware and software with equal enthusiasm—and seeks to turn technical curiosity into products that improve people’s lives. Comfortable moving between rapid prototyping and production-quality code, he brings both classroom mentorship experience and hands-on impact in large engineering organizations.
