About Me
Hi there, I'm Jamsheed! 👋
I'm a UC Berkeley Computer Science alumnus, and I'm currently working as Founding Engineer at Layerup (YC S22).
In my spare time, I help students start their own ventures at Hack+. I'm passionate about new ways to approach computer science education, especially through hackathons: in the past, I co-founded Pinnacle, the Olympics of Hackathons, and directed 30+ hackathons through projects like Los Altos Hacks and CodeDay.
In the past, I've worked at Twitter, Apple, Udacity, and Gauss Surgical (acq'd by Stryker), doing engineering and project management. I've also published research under Stanford Graduate School of Education and Berkeley Netsys Lab; see below for publications.
I've also been practicing Taekwondo for over 15 years, holding a 5th degree black belt and a International Referee certification from World Taekwondo. Aside from refereeing, I am a coach for the UC Berkeley collegiate Taekwondo team, self-defense instructor for PE courses at UC Berkeley, and a visiting instructor at my Taekwondo alma mater, Tiger Martial Arts. To find out more about my Taekwondo experience, check out my Taekwondo resume.
You can find out more about my specific positions and accomplishments on my LinkedIn or on my resume.
