About me

Heya! My name is Stella Jane, and I'm a Seattle-based professional software engineer, musician, and author.

Software engineering

I've been a professional software engineer for the past 9 years, and I've been programming as a hobby for 13 years. I've worked in higher education, multimedia, and big tech, with my latest role being as a Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure at Meta. I specialize in large-scale distributed systems, data engineering, and general automation.

Music

I'm primarily a pianist and singer, with experience in session work, accompaniment, teaching, and live performance. I specialize in jazz and fusion genres, and I have a background in classical music. I've been playing piano for 25 years, and singing for 18 years. Additionally, I've recently started picking up the drums.

Writing

As an engineer, I do a lot of technical writing on-the-job. Additionally, I love creative writing, and I often GM for tabletop sessions with my friends. Attached to this site is my personal blog, in which I'll be writing about various topics that interest me, from tech, to game dev, to art and fiction.
