To succeed in the tech industry by offering accessible, AI-driven career tools. Drawing from their collective backgrounds in software engineering, machine learning, and product design. They developed a scalable platform that tackles bias in tech hiring using NLP, FastAPI, and fine-tuned deep learning models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TechHerAI Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TechHerAI is powered by a tight-knit, four-person core team that blends product vision with deep technical know-how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jiazhao Shi \u2013 Team Leader: A software engineer with a master\u2019s in computer science. Jiazhao sets the product roadmap, secures partnerships. And keeps our nonprofit mission\u2014opening doors for women in tech\u2014front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chuanrui Li \u2013 Software Engineer: Chuanrui architects our backend in Python + FastAPI, integrates cloud infrastructure. And ensures every mock-interview session runs smoothly and at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuan Lu \u2013 Machine Learning Engineer: Kuan fine-tunes large language models with supervised learning and RLHF. Using curated r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u2013job-description pairs to boost semantic alignment and response fluency across our interview, cover-letter, and job-board tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donghui Zhang \u2013 Software Engineer: Donghui focuses on front-end experience and data pipelines. Turning complex AI outputs into clear, confidence-building feedback screens and dashboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we pair industry experience with a shared commitment to inclusion. By combining applied NLP research, full-stack engineering, and user-centered design, we deliver free. AI-driven career support that helps women graduates prepare, grow, and thrive in today\u2019s challenging tech landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The driving force behind our submission is the widening gap we see\u2014everyday\u2014between opportunity and access for women starting tech careers. Recent layoffs and hiring freezes have made entry-level roles scarce; meanwhile, AI advances have lowered the barrier for building smart, personalized tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TechHerAI sits at the intersection of those two trends: we apply state-of-the-art language models to deliver free mock interviews, r\u00e9sum\u00e9 guidance, and curated job leads that would otherwise be out of reach for many candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating and refining this platform directly advances both our nonprofit mission and our personal goals as engineers. As individuals, we wanted our AI skills to create visible social impact rather than just incremental enterprise gains. As an organization, we measure success by the number of women who land roles, gain confidence, and stay in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submitting to the TITAN Innovation Awards pushed us to benchmark our solution against global best practices, document measurable improvements in interview readiness, and spotlight a scalable model that other communities can replicate. Recognition from TITAN validates that mission and accelerates our broader goal: building an open, supportive ecosystem where underrepresented talent can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lolaneedstosketchmooore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lolazhang.artstation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team behind TechHerAI &#8211; founded by Jiazhao Shi, Chuanrui Li, Donghui Zhang, and Kuan Lu &#8211; aims to empower women, especially recent graduates.
