About Me

Hi, my name is JT Tao. I recently graduated from Princeton University and I’m originally from New York City. At Princeton, I studied computer science. I have taken classes like Algorithms and Data Structures, Economics and Computing, Fundamentals of Machine Learning, Advanced Programming Techniques, and Probability and Stochastic Systems.

At my last job, I worked for Facebook as a software engineering intern where I was able to work on the web version of Facebook and Messenger. I am a fullstack web developer and familiar with React, Node.js, PHP, etc. Before this, I worked with the Behavioral Science Policy Lab at Princeton where I conducted research using Python and R.

Experience

Work

At my last job with Facebook, I worked as a fullstack developer on the Messenger Experiences team. I worked on several projects on the web versions of Facebook and Messenger including working with product designers to bring new features to the web as well as bringing parity between the web and mobile versions of Messenger. I primarily used React and PHP.

Before this, I was an intern at the Behavioral Science Policy Lab at Princeton. Here, I worked on research involving financial institutions and their climate-related policies, and the relationship between perceived risk of climate change and harm from natural disasters. I primarily used Python, R, and Javascript for data science and web programming.
