Leah Kim

Final-year CS student who loves building things people can actually click. Two internships, a handful of side projects, and a growing collection of half-finished hackathon ideas. Looking for my first full-time role.

01/ About

I got into programming through a high-school robotics team, where I was the person who actually enjoyed writing the control code at 2am. Now I'm finishing my CS degree and spending most of my free time on side projects — the best way I've found to learn. I've interned twice, shipped features real users touched, and I'm looking for a first role on a team that cares about mentorship and building things well. Still early, still learning fast, genuinely excited about all of it.

Learn relentlessly and build things that are useful, not just impressive.
