Qi(Lucy) Chen
About Me
My name is Qi, also go by Lucy. I am a recent graduate from the MCIT program at the University of Pennsylvania, where I successfully completed a diverse array of courses such as Data Structures & Software Design, Algorithms & Computation, Computer Systems Programming, and Big Data Analytics, achieving a commendable 3.8 GPA. My academic journey has nurtured in me a keen ability to diagnose challenges and craft innovative solutions for technology-related dilemmas.
Throughout my academic tenure, I actively engaged in numerous scholastic and extracurricular undertakings, encompassing a wide spectrum of technological domains. These ventures span from front-end and full-stack development employing prominent frameworks like React, Angular, and Spring Boot, to proficient utilization of Python and Tensorflow for intricate big data analysis. I’ve also delved into the intricacies of network programming utilizing C++.
At present, owing to my immigration status, I am regrettably unable to commence formal employment, despite having a standing job offer awaiting my availability. However, I am deeply committed to remaining proactive during this interim period. Thus, I am keen to invest my time in volunteer roles that offer assistance to companies and organizations in need of support. This endeavor not only allows me to utilize my skills meaningfully but also presents an invaluable opportunity for me to accrue practical experience through dedicated volunteering efforts.
