# Julia W. > Software Engineer at Stripe Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/juliaw ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Stripe Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 | South San Francisco, California, United States I worked on the Cost Modeling and Cost Integration teams. I created tools that facilitated accurate, timely estimations on network fees for our users. These tools helped save users millions yearly in fees by highlighting problematic transactions and providing insight to traffic. I additionally designed a pipeline that enabled Tech Operations teams to create new, complex rules without touching code, eliminating the engineer middle man between network representatives and Stripe data science experts. ### Research Assistant @ MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States ### Teaching Assistant for Advanced Natural Language Processing @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States I ran recitation sessions, created and oversaw course material, and managed office hours for a graduate level NLP class. ### Software Engineering Intern @ Stripe Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco, California, United States I worked on the Radar Machine Learning team to utilize advanced algorithms for fraud detection. I cross-collaborated to design and implement a pipeline that better analyzed models and produced them more efficiently. I also engineered experiments and dashboards to evaluate candidate models through incorporating internal data science tools. ### Lab/Course Assistant for Introduction to Computer Science @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States I taught students of all years Python coding concepts and general intuition as well as graded assignments. I also debugged assignments and testing scripts for the automated grading infrastructure before distribution to students. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Microsoft Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States I worked on the DevProd squad, giving multiple Semantic Machines wide presentations regarding an end to end project. I created a theme-compatible interactive graph WebView for chatbot training data within a Visual Studio Code extension. I Incorporated a hackathon visualization technique into the Scala tooling pipeline to increase software engineers’ efficiency. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Yext Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Arlington, Virginia, United States I worked on the Technology Engineering team in order to improve core search processes, primarily in Java. I incorporated Named Entity Recognition (NER) information into the core search pipeline to better classify queries. I presented and documented the NLP/NER pipeline changes to all relevant teams affiliated with Answers. I learned and utilized new tools such as Dagger, Mockito, Gerrit, SQLPro, and company-specific git workflows. I collaborated on cross-team software and feature demos as well as tested and deployed code through various environments. ### Researcher @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States I created guides detailing how to build machine learning pipelines that MIT departments used while migrating cloud platforms. I planned and completed a project analyzing company success rates using machine learning on CrunchBase data. I prepared data and analyzed differences between various models such as random forests, XG Boost, and neural networks. I utilized machine learning techniques and GCP to analyze images of historical documents owned by MIT libraries. I helped create a pipeline that automatically classified document type, tagged characteristics, and gathered semantic meaning. ### Lab/Course Assistant for Introduction to Computer Science @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States I taught students of all years Python coding concepts and general intuition as well as graded assignments. I also debugged assignments and testing scripts for the automated grading infrastructure before distribution to students. ### Software Engineering Intern @ Oracle Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Santa Clara, California, United States I worked on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure team in order to better process requests that customers send to the cloud. I constructed a full simulator in Java and Go to mimic real-world scenarios and strain on the system. I also implemented and crafted new algorithms to solve varying issues with data transfer rates and network queues. ### Maseeh Hall Lead Peer Mentor @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Ran events for freshman class in order to introduce them to MIT, oversaw team of peer mentors to ensure that freshmen were looked after and having a positive experience, interacted with administration to plan activities ### Software Intern @ Micronotes, Inc. Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States Designed customer-facing survey using shortest path algorithms in order to most efficiently gather necessary data; researched natural language generation and processing techniques automate parsing of survey data into a usable format ### Gamemaster and Room Designer @ Codebreakers Escape Room Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Oceanside, California Lead design of new escape room, involving overall story, puzzles, game mechanics, and immersion research; moderated escape game experiences, handled waivers, payments, and questions, and assisted with marketing ## Education ### Master of Engineering - MEng in Computer Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 ### La Costa Canyon High School Jan 2013 – Jan 2017 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/julia-wagner33 --- Source: https://flows.cv/juliaw JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/juliaw/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
