University of California, Santa Cruz Baskin Engineering at UCSC wasn't just where I learned to code as a computer science student; it was foundational to my entire career. It’s the irreverent culture. We are taught to challenge norms, ignore "the way things have always been done," and prioritize social impact alongside technical precision. I have a deep gratitude to all the amazing professors I had the opportunity to learn and work with at UCSC.
