About Me

Professional

Iā€™m currently a third-year undergrad at UIUC studying Computer Science with a minor in Statistics.

My interests are mainly in creating impactful software through full-stack development, but I also have growing interests in the AI/ML realm of CS, which I'm currently exploring. Strongly interested in pursuing research during the rest of my time at UIUC.

I have strong knowledge and experience with low-level systems programming, as well as comfortability with data structures and database systems. I take pride in fully challenging myself to excel in a rigorous and technically-focused CS program. Through involvement in classes, clubs, and projects, I've become a strong problem solver, tenacious critical thinker, and dynamic team collaborator.

After taking a temporary leave of absence from school to address a gastrointestinal health matter, I'm eager for an opportunity to contribute my skills and gain valuable professional experience through an internship!

Personal

  • Born in the U.S., raised in Singapore, but rooted in my Korean heritage (dual citizen of the U.S. and Korea).
  • Some of my interests:
    • love running in the scorching sun (marathon prepping!)
    • visiting art museums in new cities
    • finding healthier ways to eat the foods I love
  • View my old art portfolio here!
