Eugene Cho

Full Stack Engineer @ UC Davis

About Me

Hi! I'm a senior studying Computer Science at UC Davis, passionate about full-stack development. I enjoy building projects that have real world applications, especially where software and other fields intersect. A lot of my recent work has been in healthcare and education, and I'm excited about roles where I can keep solving interesting, meaningful problems with code. I'm currently looking for full-time opportunities in software engineering — feel free to reach out at eugene.a.cho@gmail.com
