Hello!

👋

My name is Samantha Chu.

I'm a full stack Software Engineer specializing in front-end development with Javascript. My experience includes working within modern web frameworks such as React.js, Node.js, Vue.js, and Express.js. My skills include using Handlebars templating, Webpack, SCSS/CSS, familiarity with user experience, accessibility, web performance, and search-engine optimization (SEO) best practices, and proficiency in additional programming languages such as Python, Java, and R.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at Business Insider.

I believe that thoughtful design can revolutionize industries, so I'm passionate about developing software solutions that are accessible, scalable, user-centric, and high-performing—ensuring a delightful experience for every user.

I graduated with a Master's and Bachelor's degree from Cornell University, at the Bower's College of Computing and Information Science. My concentration was in Data Science and User Experience Design. While in university, I was involved as a Graduate Teaching Research Specialist and TA for multiple courses, and received the Teaching Assistant Recognition Award upon graduation.

Outside of programming, I'm a certified cycling and pilates instructor who loves to exercise, cook, read, and dogsit.
