Hey, I'm Carla! I'm a UCLA student studying Computer Science and Linguistics! I am a Junior, with an expected graduation of June 2028.

I recently completed my second internship at Amazon Web Services as a Software Development Engineer Intern, where I designed and built AI-powered REST API operations using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Bedrock, and S3. I have experience developing with Python, Javascript, Java, and Typescript.

I have experience building frontends with React.js, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, building RESTful APIs with FastAPI, writing tests with Cypress and Pytest, and automating CI pipelines with GitHub Actions.

When I am not coding, you can find me on the tennis court, exploring new restaurants, listening to music, or binge-watching Korean and Hong Kong dramas.
