Hi everyone, my name is Vivian! I'm an incoming EECS Master's student at UC Berkeley with a focus on computer systems architecture. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Computer Engineering. I'm fascinated with the software-hardware intersection, and my career goals are to become a computer systems analyst or digital logic designer. I also enjoy mentoring people, and have been tutoring for 5 years. Outside of school, I enjoy playing the piano and going on hikes. I recently got into competitive speedcubing, which was driven by my fascination of data structures and algorithms. (WCA- 2026NGUY18) Thanks for checking out my page!
