Meet Jackie Tian
Over my 15-year career in software development—now working as a Principal Engineer at a global company of 20,000 employees and holding the AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification (one of the highest and most difficult credentials in the global tech industry)—I've spent my days building the kind of complex technology we all rely on.
But my true lightbulb moment wasn't in the office—it was at home.
When thinking about the future my own children are stepping into, I realized that traditional education alone isn't enough to prepare them for an AI-driven world. My vision for Koala Bytes is to give our kids the exact tools, logic, and resilience they need to thrive. Because the best gift we can give them isn't just knowing how to code—it's the unshakeable confidence that they can adapt, figure things out, and master whatever tomorrow brings.
