About Me

Hi, I'm Daniel. I am a Korean-American from Massachusetts, attending the University of Maryland. I am a Computer Science and Mathematics double major, in my third undergraduate year.

I have been coding for a long time, starting with basic block coding on Scratch with my best friend in 5th grade. I took all of the computer science courses offered at my high school, learning foundational skills such as HTML, Python, Java, OOP design, and more. I even earned a 5 on my AP Computer Science A exam!

I decided to continue my pursuit of computer science at UMD with a focus on cybersecurity.

At UMD I am part of the Sigma Phi Delta Engineering Fraternity where I served as the treasurer of the 2025 Executive Board. Being treasurer taught me many invaluable skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership.

I am also part of the App Development Club where I serve as a DevOps Engineer for the Children's National Hospital project. Our product is a MRI scan analysis web application that harnesses machine learning to give unique insights into scans of the brain, revealing tumors and other anomalies.

The University of Maryland and SigPhi are my happy places, and I love all of my friends and acquaintances who make every day worth it :D
