Let Me Introduce Myself...

Hi, my name is Elaine Cui. I currently study Computer Science and Mathematics at Northwestern University but am originally from Plymouth, Minnesota. I am seeking a role in Software Engineering and am primarily interested in graphics, AI/ML, and web development. However, I am constantly willing to learn more. Outside of just coding, I love to dance, explore nature, and creating artwork. It's very nice to meet you, and I hope you enjoy my website!
