At age 8 my classmates were out playing ball and watching Disney. I was glued to the computer writing HTML and CSS for my favorite movie stars’ fan pages. I was drawn to the Internet for a few years, but quickly drifted away in middle school. For years I thought about what I wanted to be: A doctor? Architect? Mathematician? Software seemed to be lost in the pile that was my future, but I made my way back to my calling when I took a JavaScript class at a community college in 11th grade. I thought: Okay, I’ll give it a try but there’s no way I can 4-0 this class if I’m up against college students. Little did I know I’d end up in the 95th percentile. Programming. I never looked back since. Since then, I: took a Java class in 12th grade; interned at Microsoft Research (only one of the most desirable teams in all of tech land) where I researched D-RAM; did 2 internships at UW Medicine where I learned the art of hacking Unix Bash scripts for data processing automation, used command line interface, built MySQL databases for querying, wrote Python API’s, contributed to open-source projects and learned version control via GitHub; completed my BS in Computer Science as Magna Cum Laude, presenting a project utilizing MVC framework AngularJS and a variety of AWS. Now I'm a software engineer at the #1 avionics manufacturer Honeywell, prototyping C++ source code and low-level drivers, learning embedded systems and practicing statistics on data. I’m a big believer of strong CS fundamental knowledge and practices: good object-oriented design, algorithms, data structures. By nature I’m detail-oriented, gravitate toward positions where I jump into unfamiliar code bases and debug failures, and refactor…because my code better look pretty. I work well alone and also collaborate closely with colleagues. Strong in written communication and developing a love for presenting to large audiences. What I’m VERY drawn to is data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistics.
