About me

A first-generation college student who likes systems that are dependable, people-friendly and well documented.

Emily Kim monogram

I’m a junior studying Computer Science with a minor in Statistics at Texas A&M University, graduating in May 2027. Most of my work is on the backend: APIs, infrastructure and reliability tooling. More and more of it involves agentic AI that has to act safely on real systems.

I’m also drawn to human-computer interaction. In the lab I design and test interfaces for AR smart glasses and VR, and that work keeps me focused on the people who will actually use what I build.

I speak English and Korean fluently. Outside class, I serve as an undergraduate representative for Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), and I teach as a TA and peer teacher.
