"I had the privilege of managing Christine for two years, during which she consistently demonstrated exceptional technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and leadership. Christine delivered several high-impact projects and is a collaborative team player, often driving team culture by organizing events and actively participating in team activities. Peers recognize Christine for her ownership of complex features, mentoring interns, and supporting fellow developers. Her initiative in developing design documents and proactively seeking solutions has accelerated her growth and impact. I recommend her without reservation for any opportunity that values technical excellence and a positive team culture."
Principle EM @ Microsoft
"Christine was incredible to work with and an invaluable member of our team. She took full ownership of features from design through implementation and testing, collaborating cross-functionally to define clear specs and consistently delivering high-quality work on time. Beyond her technical strengths, Christine’s greatest asset was her presence as a teammate—she brought positive energy, lifted everyone around her, and truly brightened every room she entered. She’s deeply missed, and any team would be fortunate to have her."
Senior SWE @ Microsoft
"Christine was a fantastic mentor as I started work on iOS as Microsoft. I was impressed with her performance, and would recommend her any mobile software development role. Especially those requiring leadership."
Microsoft Android and iOS Engineer
"I had the pleasure of working with Christine across multiple iOS projects, where she consistently demonstrated strong leadership and a growth-oriented mindset. She navigated complex challenges and dependencies with resilience and effectiveness, contributing significantly to project success. Beyond her technical capabilities, Christine is a collaborative team member who generously shares her experience through mentorship and support, fostering a positive and productive work environment."
Microsoft Senior Software Engineer
"Christine has an incredible work ethic and initiative, always eager to learn and master new topics. She led her team to success on a semester-long mobile app project (TransposeX), conducting user studies, iterating designs, and delivering a polished Flutter app that won the judge’s choice award. In my Web Development course, she quickly absorbed advanced topics like React, Node.js, and Generative AI, producing a full-stack project that looked like the work of a seasoned developer. She is just incredible, and I’m excited to see what she does next."
Teaching Professor @ Northeastern University
"I worked with Christine for several years on the Microsoft Teams consumer product, partnering with her on several key projects. As an engineering partner, she was exceptional at taking on ambiguous feature requests, asking the right questions to bring clarity, and delivering high-quality code on schedule. We also collaborated on go-to-market videos where her creative skills were a huge asset that helped make our launches more successful. She's a sharp, reliable, and highly effective teammate. But more than anything a great human to be around."

My Works
What if AI could translate not just words — but vibes? In this project, I combined creator empathy, social media feedback, and prompt engineering to build an AI subtitle translator that actually sounds like a Gen Z content creator. Think: viral social media slang, casual vlog tone, and bilingual accessibility — powered by GPT and refined through community input.
