# Juliana Zadarko > Software Engineer II @ Microsoft | B.SE uWaterloo 2023 Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/julianazadarko Each person views the world with a different perspective; I see a world shaped by those inspired by the principles of learning, innovation, and challenge. The experiences I've gained while working in full-stack, embedded, and mobile development are a few of the ways I’ve achieved personal and technical growth. I do not give up when faced with difficult problems and I am constantly looking to design new and creative solutions. My computer and a cup of coffee are almost always by my side. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer II @ Microsoft Jan 2025 – Present | Redmond, Washington, United States AI Platform ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Redmond, Washington, United States AI Platform ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Redmond, Washington, United States Azure Core ### Software Engineering Intern @ Microsoft Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Bellevue, Washington, United States • Designed and implemented a document generator using React and Python to create synthetic data and ground truth labels to improve machine learning workflow efficiency, then used this data to train and evaluate a visual document analysis model • Developed several prototypes to assess project feasibility, identify immediate challenges, and justify tech stack • Collaborated with a team and introduced zoom in-out functionality to a design editor project written in React in the Microsoft Global Hackathon, achieving 1st place in its executive challenge ### Software Engineering Co-op @ Lifion by ADP Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States • Developed a filtering menu in TypeScript and GraphQL to sort activity logs for the client management system to expediate auditing inquiries, allowing logs to be sorted by items such as action types, clients impacted, and internal users • Built production deployment workflow after consulting DevOps teams and ensuring codebase complied with security standards ### Full Stack Developer @ Ada Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Produced a technical plan, initiated discussions across multiple teams, and executed changes in Python and JavaScript (using React and Redux) to enhance the user experience of a list option feature by allowing clients to force users to perform a selection • Expanded the capabilities of the internal tool used to clone chat bots, reducing the time required to respond to client requests • Implemented changes in the front and back end to resolve issues introduced by a race condition in the conversation state events ### Technical Analyst @ Shopper Army Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Launched an API that executes mass messaging and processes text verification for thousands of users using a Google Cloud Function written in Python and storing the results in Google Datastore • Carried out a profile centralization project to reduce survey repetitiveness and expediate user base targeting and analytics • Updated admin and consumer interfaces, investigated bugs, and improved features on the Django-built website • Parsed raw HTML into JSON formatting to extract consumer data and shopping trends ### Core OS Software Development Student @ BlackBerry QNX Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Ottawa, Canada Area • Improved the efficiency of test creation by expanding the scope and output of a Python script responsible for parsing C code and automatically generating a base unit test • Designed unit tests in C to thoroughly evaluate the accuracy, fragility, and accessibility of the file system codebase in the QNX real-time operating system to progress towards safety certifications • Analyzed over 1000 lines of executable code in a Linux environment, identifying and correcting bugs in the process ### Software Engineering Intern @ Peraso Technologies, Inc Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Developed, optimized, and debugged features written in C++ for firmware running on integrated circuits capable of supporting high-speed 60 GHz Wi-Fi, designed under IEEE 802.11ad networking standards • Built features including MQX RTOS stack memory overflow detection, I2C device communication support, and new CLI commands ### Coding Instructor @ Hatch Canada Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Mississauga, ON • Implemented engaging and creative strategies to maximize retention of content, allowing students in grades 2 to 8 to understand and make use of programming concepts in JavaScript ### Hot Food Clerk @ Starsky Fine Foods Inc.
