Hi, I'm

Moonsu Kang.

Problem Solver

I'm a Statistics & Computer Science student at UIUC, passionate about building scalable systems and deriving insights from data. I'm actively looking for opportunities in Software Engineering and Data Science.

My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in both algorithmic problem solving and statistical analysis. Whether it's architecting backend systems or building data pipelines, I love tackling complex problems. When I'm not coding, I enjoy exploring new technologies and staying up to date with the latest industry trends.
