About me

Hi I'm Jeff. I recently graduated UC Davis this past June (2017) with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Psychology.

I have worked in the past as a research intern, building a crop growth simulation model. I have also worked as a front end web developer, implementing designs for Yamato Transport in Taiwan. I am experienced with programming in Java and C++ and I am interested in full-stack web development, as well as machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

I went to high school in Taiwan, and I have also lived in Hawaii and Japan. I spend my free time hiking, weightlifting, writing music, or working on side projects.
