About

Hi! I'm Jade!

I’m a recent engineering graduate currently based in Massachusetts.

Recently, I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science and Engineering. While there, I served as the President of Cyber@UCI, UC Irvine’s cybersecurity club, and as the Captain of Cyber@UCI’s team for the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC), where I now volunteer as a part of the operations team for Western Region CCDC.

My hobbies these days include making small games, experimenting with electronics, and photography. I’m especially interested in restoring and documenting old retro tech.

Check out some of my projects below!
