About

Hello! My name is Jason Ting, a Master's student majoring in Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz with a focus in Machine Learning. I enjoy working with data, however I am open to new opportunity to further expand my knowledge in the tech field. Currently, my favorite programming language is Python, but I am open to learn new languages. I am curious as how to incorporate my learning experience in University of California, Santa Cruz to the real world.
