About Me

Hi there, I'm Kevin. I am currently studying computer science at Purdue University. I intend to pursue the Software Engineering track and the Databases track. My primary interest is in software engineering. A secondary topic that fascinates me is data analytics.

I have accepted a software engineering internship at Capital One in McLean, Virginia (suburban Washington DC) for Summer 2018.
