About
./sectionHi, I'm Xia Jie — a CS sophomore at CUNY College of Staten Island (B.S., May 2028). I love building things that sit at the intersection of full-stack engineering and AI/ML — hackathon projects, research tools, and community platforms.
I've won 1st place at HackNYU and HackKnight, worked as a SWE intern at CUNY HPC and Evergreen Investments, and organize hackathons + mentor students through my university's CS Club.
