# Ashley Wang > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ashleywang1 Hello! I’m Ashley and I’m currently working as a backend software engineer. I have a strong academic background in computer science, having completed my masters at UC Santa Barbara with a specialization in computer systems (specifically in networking and distributed systems, embedded systems, and computer architecture). I also worked as a software engineer at Google, where I gained valuable insight on industry standards and experience in developing optimized and scalable solutions. I am comfortable with most software development languages including C++, Java, Python, and Javascript, and I'm always open to picking up a few more! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Databricks Jan 2024 – Present | Mountain View, California, United States ### Software Engineer @ Google Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Mountain View, California, United States • Developed and launched first “Chat with Business” feature on Google Search and Google Shopping for desktop so users to easily ask merchants product and customer-service related questions • Launched “Chat with Business” feature on Gmail aimed to provide direct and quick customer service access to users • Improved viability of entry points through in-depth conversion tracking analysis to increase merchant site interactions • Ensured web-accessibility compliance of Business Chat across 8 entry points and 3 platforms ### Software Engineering Intern @ Google Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 • Refactored Shopping Search code base for easier usability, improved performance, and scalable future development • Automated manual debugging process of Shopping query retrieval, saving hours of debugging for engineers • Developed benchmark tests to assess the performance/usability tradeoff of potential tools to ensure a usable, scalable, and high-performing solution ### Software Engineering Intern @ Google Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Mountain View, California, United States • Implemented statistics retrieval and processing feature, providing comprehensive debugging for a widely-used API • Established framework for conducting experimental simulations of response building to improve user engagement • Proactively identified potential scaling and latency issues for server-side framework and developed project plan to address future changes and additions that may be implemented ### Software Engineering Intern @ Google Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Mountain View, California, United States • Worked with the Google Cloud AI Platform team to create software useful to clients • Developed JupyterLab extension providing git-based real-time editing in order to improve collaboration for clients using Jupyter notebooks stored on git repositories • Extended front-end and back-end functionality of JupyterLab using Typescript/React and Python respectively to minimize the load of computation for the server and improve the speed of the extension • Adapted quickly to OSS codebase and proactively determined potential edge/corner cases regarding race conditions and parallelism for consistent program execution regardless of external factors (ie. server-client latency and user input timing) • Drafted detailed design documentation outlining the costs and benefits of different solutions to choose the optimal interfaces, libraries, and frameworks to be utilized in fulfilling project requirements ### Undergraduate Student Researcher @ UC Santa Barbara Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Goleta, California, United States • Assisted graduate student with research on Post-Moore devices intended to improve speed and performance of computers with enhanced architecture design • Produced an algorithm to estimate power usage and delay of different transistor technologies based on data from related research regarding accelerators • Explored various projects that implement common software concepts through hardware or low-level software to improve speed and resource allocation ### Software Engineering Intern @ KARL STORZ Imaging Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Goleta, California • Full-time Intern (Jun 2020 - Aug 2020) • Designed dashboards across international company network for upper management to easily view tasks and statistics for more efficient product development • Developed intricate system architecture involving local and remote servers and SQL databases for more modular and scalable usage • Implemented client-server connections using Python and Javascript to optimize speed for user experience as well as minimize resources allocated for backend server ### Back End Developer @ Everybody Dance Now!
