Berkeley, CA
Hello, I'm David! I am a third-year U.C. Berkeley student pursuing a degree in data science and a minor in computer science. My interests lie in creating impactful solutions and always learning new things. I love research and creating projects that involve creative problem-solving. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am someone who loves video editing, working on creative projects, exploring new technologies, as well as watching the symphony and opera. Thanks for stopping by!

Lead a team of 16 students to document, build, and develop an NLP model for user-based music recommendations.

Selected to pursue extensive research in the area of computational geometry and wireless sensor networks.

Interned for a Berkeley SkyDeck startup in the AI and microservices space. Learned Swift and Python to test and deploy a backend service.

Studied abroad at the prestigeous Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

Began my B.A. in Data Science at the University of California, Berkeley
