About

Hello! I’m Stephanie. Some people call me St. Chang. I live to learn. I want to empower people and create a future that is more fair. I’m fighting to stay hungry and foolish.

I got my bachelor’s degree from Duke University in May 2011 with an Electrical and Computer Engineering major and a Computer Science minor. Among other things, I competed in the Duke Startup Challenge and ran the Duke Engineers Without Borders chapter. Before Duke, I lived and studied at a publicly-funded magnet school called the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA). They had excellent trees for traversing, like the one at right. ;)

Questions

What sites do you like/recommend?

In high school, I read too much of the New York Times and the Economist for my own good. Nowadays, I frequent Hacker News for fun, thought-provoking tech articles. Some other cool sites (in no particular order): Technology Review, Cooking for Engineers, Pinterest, Memrise.

Did you really write those raps?

Yup. Of course, the genius behind I’m Writing Code is the first artist, my good buddy @ricehornet. But somehow I once won the title of “Mr. Pratt” (for Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering) by performing Ode to Lead Pipe on the engineering quad. It was a glorious feeling.
