About
Hi! I'm Vinny — a student at Cornell University pursuing a B.A. M.Eng in Computer Science and a minor in Asian American Studies, graduating May 2026.
This coming August, I'll be joining Amazon full-time as a Software Engineer on the Privacy team — returning from a summer 2025 internship where I built tools that reached 300M+ users.
At Cornell, I lead the software team at Cornell Nexus, a project team building a robot that filters microplastics from beaches. Outside of code, I'm into reading, working out, badminton, and music.
