Angela Zhou

Hi there! I'm Angela, a passionate software developer who loves to solve problems and help others along the way. With a heart full of compassion and a brain wired for tech, I aim to guide, support, and cheer on fellow devs, especially POC & womxn, as they navigate their journey in this ever-evolving world of software. I feel strongly about the topic of mental health—it’s something we don’t talk about enough in tech. Balancing a meaningful mission and a demanding career can take a toll on our well-being, and I know firsthand how tech can both support and disrupt mental health. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences as we learn and grow together, one bug fix at a time. Learning should be fun, not daunting, so expect lots of encouragement, positivity, and the occasional bad pun (oops). Whether you're wrestling with your first “Hello World” or tackling more advanced projects, I’m here to navigate this journey with you!

I mentor because I’ve been on the other side. Early in my career, I often felt alone because I didn’t quite fit in. But during that time, my mentors made a world of difference—they didn’t just guide me in my work, they stood up for me and encouraged me to aim higher than I ever thought possible. Their belief in me pushed me to grow and showed me just how powerful mentorship can be. Now, I want to pay that forward and be that same source of support and encouragement for others.
