Kit Zellerbach
Hello, I'm Kit! I'm a self-motivated, curious individual with a knack for rapid prototyping and late-night creativity sessions.
I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in 2020, with minors in Astrophysics and Data Science. While working full-time at Microsoft, I pursued a part-time M.S. in Interactive Media, focusing on expressive musical interfaces in Mixed Reality, and completed the program in 2022.
Today, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, leading AI meeting intelligence in Microsoft Teams. My interests span software engineering, machine learning, creative coding, and everything in between.
