Helping make CodeDay happen! Part graphic designer, part developer, with a hint of mint.

When I was 10 I learned to code because I saw a cool book in a library. Ten years later I'd published papers at Microsoft Research and raised a million dollars for a tech startup from the best investors in SV, but it took a lot of luck and privilege to get there. With CodeDay, I'm making sure everyone gets a chance to discover how creative and empowering learning to code can be.

I have been a CodeDay Volunteer for several years, organizing physical events in the Midwest as well as assisting with global operations. Currently, I'm in charge of making sure Virtual CodeDay runs smoothly and continues to grow. I also love automating the boring parts of running events, so we all get to focus on the fun stuff.

I love working for a company that dares to be different and puts helping people and the planet as a top priority. I have a lot of passion and energy to try new things and am excited to be part of a community that gives back! I also enjoy: cats, video games, and photography

Mingjie is a first-year student at UC Berkeley with an intention to study computer science. He cares deeply about CS education and have started programs to combat challenges when it comes to technology accessibility. He ran CodeDay DC for 2 years, and is now helping to plan the next CodeDay Labs.

Jake is a freshman at UCLA studying Computer Science and Engineering. He's worked at CodeDay for a bit over a year, and volunteer for CodeDay San Diego before that. Lately, he's been working on some backend things for CodeDay Labs and Virtual CodeDay, and writing discord bots and tools that help make the events a success!

I have long been involved in spreading computer science awareness and teaching computer science through programs such as CodeDay and through my role as a teacher at Let's Code, Inc. I am now studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.
