Jada.
From shipping nonprofit software as a high school junior in Texas to MIT computer science and a LinkedIn internship.
“Shipping ImpactTrack as a high school junior changed how I see software. I wasn’t doing assignments anymore — I was writing code that nonprofits would depend on.”
Jada joined the Spring 2024 cohort as a junior at Jordan High School in Fulshear, Texas. Over the semester, she shipped ImpactTrack — the impact-tracking module of Ally Suite — using React and Express to help nonprofits record and report on funds, volunteer hours, and material donations. She entered MIT the following year to study Computer Science and Urban Planning. Today she’s a software engineering intern at LinkedIn and an undergraduate researcher at MIT CSAIL, where she’s working on improving LLM faithfulness.
