Hi, I'm David. I'm a software engineer.

Teaching Assistant @  UMass Amherst

I am a master's student studying Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, having just graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science this spring. I have a strong foundation in software development, with experience in various programming languages and frameworks. I'm currently working as a Teaching Assistant for CICS 110 (Foundations of Programming), having just completed my Software Engineering Internship at TORQ Sports, a media technology startup based in LA. This last summer, I worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Trumptech Digital Education Services, where I worked on full-stack projects, including an agentic workflow using LangChain. I am currently seeking full-time Software Engineer roles in the US. My interests include web/app development, Machine Learning, DevOps, and Networking. In my free time, I enjoy working on personal projects, taking photos of cool cars, and finding new food places in my neighborhood.
