About

Hi! I'm Kevin, an undergraduate student at Columbia University focused on C++ and low-level systems. Right now, I’m a Software Engineering Intern at SpaceX on the Build & Flight Reliability team, ensuring system correctness where there's zero margin for error. I'm interested in high-frequency trading and the aerospace industry. Feel free to reach out!
