Nicole
My name is Nicole Camara, I am a Junior Computer Science major at the University of Notre Dame. During my time of study, I have engaged in courses such as: systems programming, data structures, discrete mathematics, fundamentals of computing, embedded systems and the internet of things, and logic design to name a few. I have learned and utilized languages such as: Python, C, C++, Matlab, Shell Scripting, X-11, and Bash. I have coded projects ranging from creating a HTTP server to 3-D printing a picture frame. Currently this summer, I received the A. Richard Newton Young Fellowship Award for the Digital Automation Conference, and have had the pleasure of working with a team on various hardware/software projects.
Henry
My name is Henry Liu, and I study computer science at UC Irvine. I started programming in high-school and co-founded a company to make websites for local businesses. I’m familiar with Java, Python, C#, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, as well as the Unity and Godot game engines. A large inspiration for me to learn CS was playing video games as a kid. Currently, I’m an indie game developer working on a commercial mobile game, with a few self-published titles on itch.io: a 2D platformer about a genetically modified carpenter, a twin-stick shooter starring a greedy desperado, and even an alien dating simulator.
Yuxiang
My name is Yuxiang (Caroline) Wang. I’m currently studying at Washington University in St. Louis as a Business Analytics major. Python and R are the coding languages I’m good at. My previous coursework/projects include Deep Neural Network-- clips prediction, United States Housing Data Analysis. And I’ve been engaging in Alibaba Cloud Tianchi contest --- Repeat buyer prediction.
David
I’m David. I have bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley. I code primarily in Python and Java, but I also have completed projects in C, golang, javascript, and other languages. My past project covers a wide range of topics: Front end projects like UI design of mobile Weather apps, back end projects like providing database stub for CalCentral, computer security related like bypassing firewall via manipulating package ttl. I also have a vast interest in Data Science and Machine learning.
Wellington
Hello, I am Wellington Uzamere. I study information systems/information technology at Salisbury University. I started programming when I left home to go to college when I was eighteen. I’m familiar with Java, Python, C#, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, etc. My motivation to learn computer science is because nowadays, the world is evolving around technology and once you know how to operate a computer you will be set for life. I will be aware of the business aspect of that.
