About Me


picture of Michelle in a dress

Hello! I'm Michelle, an undergraduate computer science major at UC Irvine. Growing up in the Bay Area, I was always surrounded by and saw the impact of emerging technologies on society and other fields of study. Seeing the interdisciplinary aspect of computer science, convinced me a career in software engineering was the perfect fit. As a software engineer, I hope to use my creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity to create and contribute to these technologies to advance our systems and society. Some technologies I have been working with recently include Python, C++, HTML, CSS, and React.js.

Outside of school and work, you can find me recipe testing, exploring the outdoors, or building lego sets.
