About

I like trying new things...over the past year, I filed a patent, published a research paper, was awarded co-op student of the year, and visited many new places including Seattle, HongKong, Korea, Japan, etc. for the first time. Love travelling, nature, and music. Always open to cool ideas and new challenges to tackle :) Work email: work[at]lindawang[dot]dev
