Hi, I'm Maggie Zhou (she/her).

Professionally, I work at Figma building distributed systems to help people collaborate. I used to do that same thing at Slack, Etsy, and Google. For deeply interested parties, you can check out my resume and a semi-complete list of talks/publications.

I sometimes write in a blog and keep a cooking journal with my partner.

other places you might know me from

• I sing shape note hymns with Bay Area Sacred Harp.
• I helped start and organize !!Con as well as !!Con West.
• From 2016-2021 I volunteered with SF's teaching garden, Garden for the Environment.
• I went to Recurse Center in Summer 2013, as well as Fall 2021. I'm a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and NCSSM.
• I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to parents who moved to Canada from China in 1985. Before settling in Berkeley, California, I lived in San Francisco, Brooklyn, North Carolina, Ottawa, and a few other places.
