About

Hi, I'm Jackie Huang (黄佳琪). By day, an Azure Data Specialist at Microsoft — I help large enterprises keep their data infrastructure healthy. Off the clock, I write, build small things, cook, climb, drum, photograph, and occasionally cry at song lyrics. I've moved cities every few years for most of my life. Each one took something and gave something back. What I've kept across all of them: I'd rather make things than consume them, I want to leave a mark however small, and I still believe most people are doing the best they can.

Journey

Born in Huairou, north of Beijing (1992). Sent down to Wenzhou for high school. Back to Beijing for university. Then nine years in Shanghai with Microsoft. Now Sydney — sea, sun, and a fresh page.
