Welcome to my personal space! My name is JiaJie, and this is where I share my passions, experiences, and aspirations.

Join me on my journey through life as I explore new ideas, embrace creativity, and pursue personal growth

For 2.5 years I had worked on a startup called Rockset, Inc., it was later acquired by OpenAI, Inc.

Careful consideration and negotiation with the new potential employer had been conducted and I have decided to take a career break instead.

Follow me as I embark on this journey, discovering new horizons with each stride

Over time, I became more fascinated with the different aspects of computer systems, worked on a few different systems on different layers of the computer system.

Am confident that I am a great engineer and am proud to be working on real world problems.

It is also my passion to extend my knowledge and privilege in hope to improve someone else’ life.

For that, I highly recommend anyone who has the ability to volunteer for the last miles, a non-profit organization dedicated to prepare incarcerated individuals for successful reentry through business and technology training.
