Hello! I’m Michelle Chen, a rising sophomore studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I’m extremely passionate about software engineering and also really enjoy working at the intersection of software and hardware, which has led to my strong interest in embedded systems. At CMU, I’m actively involved in building a supportive and connected engineering community through student organizations and collaborative projects. I love tackling challenging problems and am always eager to learn new tools and frameworks that expand my capabilities. Looking ahead, I’m excited to explore opportunities that allow me to innovate at the intersection of hardware and software, and to contribute to projects that make a meaningful impact.
