About Leah Xia

Mobile Engineer at Microsoft

I am an experienced Software Engineer at Bluescape, a SaaS company based in Silicon Valley where I’m building a visual collaboration platform used by top brands such as Google, Ford, and Walmart. I specialize in native iOS mobile Development and React Native cross platform development.

Before becoming a software engineer I was a lawyer and a business owner. I know what it takes to transition into a new career and I can share my experience to break into the tech industry.

In my free time, I enjoy mentoring and coaching aspiring developers and I also enjoy daily walks at the beach.
