Hello World!

My name is Katherine and I am an aspiring software engineer pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Biology at UC San Diego. I’m passionate about developing software that solve real-world problems, and supports communities.

I enjoy diving into complex problems and learning new tools and frameworks along the way. Most recently, I’ve been working on a primer design web tool in Professor Sahoo’s Boolean Lab at UCSD, as well as developing a website for the fashion-tech startup Runway Avenue to boost visibility and improve connections with users, vendors, and potential investors. I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams and building high-performance, user-focused solutions. Here are some of the projects I’ve worked on!

1. ERSP Split-LAMP Primer Design Site: Github
2. Runway Avenue Launchpad: Github
3. Autumn Moon Festival Site: Github - View Project
4. Solanum: Github - View Project

Outside of coding, I enjoy going to the beach, catching a concert, playing volleyball, or gaming with friends. I also love staying engaged with my community thorugh various clubs and orgs!

This summer I’m super excited to be interning at Microsoft as a Software Development Explore Intern in Redmond 😆! Although, with my start date approaching, I have been feeling a bit of imposter syndrome and fear that I won’t be able to perform well. Thoughts like:

Why me? I just got lucky…. Can I even code!?!?!?

flood my brain. But I have to remind myself that I was chosen for a reason and can excel at anything if I put my mind to it! To take my control of my situation, I also made a checklist for this quarter:

• take cse110 (in progress…)
• partcipate in a hackathon
• talk to profs. in office hours for advice on being a successful intern
• keep practicing and honing my skills through current projects

My fav code joke:

def understand_recursion():
    return understand_recursion()
