About Me

Biography

Hi 👋🏻, my name is Sedong Hwang and I'm a software engineer with a degree in computer science from Brown University.


Some courses I've taken include Deep Learning, Computer Systems, Discrete Structures & Probability, Computer Systems Security, Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Management Systems, Intro to Object Oriented Programming, Computer Vision, and more.


In my freetime, I play the cello and have served as the principal of the Brown University Orchestra for four years. I also read and write philosophical texts (yes, for fun) ✍🏻, play basketball 🏀, check out a ton of restaurants wherever I go 🥂, and dream of one day creating my own company 💻. I'm also obsessed with maintaining both a clean room and clean code design.
