Jayden Szeto

Software Engineer · CS + Data Science @ UC Berkeley

About

I like building things that probably shouldn't work — and then making them work anyway. Currently studying CS + Data Science at Berkeley, previously breaking and fixing things at places like Zaimo AI, Cal Poly Softcom Lab, and Carnegie Mellon.
