Hey, I am Gavin.
About Me
I am studying computer science @University of Maryland(courses).
I enjoy creating impactful, performant, and scalable infrastructure
Some of my past experiences include:
- NVIDIA SWE Intern: Worked on Cloud Storage Infrastructure that deploys and maintains petabytes of storage and 5k servers and networks
- Tesla SWE Intern: Launched a distributed system that receives 120+ terabytes of images per month for Computer Vision Scanning Team
- Uber SWE Intern: Contributed to Golang backend microservices that sends updates to drivers during rides, resulting in 50% increased productivity.
Some competitions I have attended include:
- UC Berkeley Hackathon Finalist: Created a video conference web platform with sentiment analysis to track emotions. 1300+ participants.
- San Francisco Hackathon Winner: Created a sign language translator IOS app. 130+ participants.
- Silicon Valley Science Fair Honorable Mention: Developed IOS and Android app to detect plant diseases using image classification.
- Robotics World Championship Qualification: Led 40+ member software division of robotics team. Worked on apps, websites, and robot code.
