Hello! My name is
Fiona Tang
About Me
I'm a user-focused, results-driven software engineer specializing in building technology solutions that enable individuals and organizations to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
Prior to my career in web development, I worked at the intersection of law and tech at the ACLU. After that, I delved into data-driven public policy, working as an analyst at a non-profit, a private startup, and a government consulting firm.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading, cooking, playing the drums, listening to podcasts, and spending time with friends and family.
