I am Ryan Kim, a Computer Science student at the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), expecting to graduate in June 2025. With a strong academic record in software-related coursework and experience at UCLA organizations and companies like Sandia National Laboratories, I have developed proficiency in several programming languages including C++, Python, Java, Javascript, SQL and frameworks like Next.js and Angular among many others. I love to make a positive impact through the tech I create, and I am open to many fields of programming including full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps.

UCLA

• Researched and innovated real-time detection and tracking algorithms specializing in signal-to-noise ratio maximization, sensor artifact mitigation, and frame stabilization via bias tracking. Scripted such algorithms in C++ and applied them to the national security’s operational remote sensing systems.
• Modularized Sandia’s image-processing software by implementing an object-oriented wrapper system in C++ that allows users to select and alternate between various tracking algorithms to simulate in live testing environments.
• Programmed CUDA software to parallelize and optimize image-processing methods, reducing computation times by ∼43%.

Research And Development Intern

• Created 2 order tracking and status screens using Next.js to visually represent order fulfillment at Bezel.
• Coded 4 JSX scripts to reduce front-end page render times by ∼28%, optimize API calls, and clarify rich text previews.
• Implemented 3 core backend features in Java to process discount code validation and duplicate order prevention.
• Reduced database call times by ∼31% by optimizing the number of reads for profile and order queries in MySQL.
• Developed 14+ admin console components using Angular to expedite Bezel’s editorial and watch inventory management.

Software Engineer Intern

3.915 grade-point average (GPA) in any one term, with at least 12 letter-graded units

Dean's Honor List
