I'm Angelina. I study computer science, but I tend to wander between technology, writing, entrepreneurship, wine, and whatever else gets interesting.
Technical, but not only technical.
I'm studying Computer Science at Virginia Tech, with minors in Finance and Viticulture. I'm interested in building things, telling stories, and following my curiosity wherever it leads.
I've always liked trying things just to see where they go. That's led me to build software, work on research, explore machine learning, and now work on a startup. Along the way, I've also taken on opportunities to mentor students and contribute to the Virginia Tech community. I enjoy learning by doing and seeing where an idea can go, even when I don't know exactly where it will lead at the beginning.
Outside of academics and work, I love writing, reading, thinking about chess, learning about wine, and discovering new places to eat. I enjoy documenting my experiences through writing, and I'm especially drawn to people, places, and experiences that challenge the way I think and leave me inspired.
These are the technical ones. For everything else, keep scrolling.
