Jade Shi

Hello, I'm Ziyu “Jade ” Shi, a first-generation Chinese immigrant and a woman of color, deeply committed to using technology for social justice and positive change. My journey into the tech world began during my law studies at Berkeley Law, where I pursued a Master's in Law with a focus on technology and earned a Law and Technology certificate. It was during this time that I discovered my interest in the intersection of law and technology, particularly in privacy and intellectual property and developed a passion for UI designs when I found myself tired of using dull legal research interfaces.

As a legal professional, I assisted small businesses with privacy policy compliance and served as in-house counsel for Haier, a global home appliance company in China, gaining valuable insights into the tech industry's legal landscape and handling various IP legal issues. Embracing my passion for UI designs and equipped with my expertise in law, I decided to pivot my career to Front End Engineering to create user-centric interfaces that make a difference in people's lives.

Driven by my dedication to social justice and a desire to help underprivileged communities, I'm eager to explore AI technologies and innovative ways to use tech for positive impact. I strongly believe in the potential of technology to drive social progress, and I'm excited to contribute to tech companies' growth while advocating for meaningful change in the world. With a unique blend of legal knowledge, technical skills, and a passion for design, I'm ready to embark on this new chapter, making the world a better place, one line of code at a time.
