@nicholasmalilay
Aspiring software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate software engineer currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at UCLA, where I maintain a 3.90 GPA. My experience includes internships at Coinbase and HandinHand Homecare, where I developed innovative solutions that significantly improved user engagement and operational efficiency. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling complex problems with creative solutions.
In my role as a Software Engineer Intern at Coinbase, I built a unified transaction display for the Coinbase Wallet, utilizing modern technologies such as React, TypeScript, and GraphQL. My contributions led to a 30% reduction in average query time and a 25% increase in asset exploration through a microservice I developed. Additionally, my research at Arisaka Lab has allowed me to apply my programming skills to real-world challenges, enhancing data fidelity and model accuracy in neuroscience applications.
With a strong technical skill set that includes Python, JavaScript, and various frameworks, I am eager to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of technology. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to grow and learn while making a meaningful impact.
