Here is a little about me

Hi! I am Nina.

I am currently at Google on the Google Payments Team in New York as a Software Engineer. I enjoy building interactive platforms with intuitive UX/UI. I am passionate about learning, teaching, and trying new things.

Before joining Google, I studied Computer Science and Statistics at Harvard College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree. During my undergrad, I interned at a student runned start-up, HSA-DEV, and at Google as a Software Engineer.

Here are a few technologies I have been working with recently:

Python, C++, JavaScript (ES 6+), Java, TypeScript, Angular, React, HTML & (S)CSS, and Node.js
