Won Kim
Student @ Tufts University
Hi! My name is Won, and I am a senior studying Computer Science and Astrophysics at Tufts University. I was born in Korea but lived in Japan my entire life, recently moving to the U.S. to attend college. I was introduced to programming in high school and have fallen in love with it ever since.
Most recently, I was an intern at Electronic Arts (EA) on the Employee Experience Engineering Team (EEX), undertaking projects to make the lives of EA employees smoother and easier. In general, I love building websites and applications, whether it be for non-profit organizations through my university’s JumboCode organization or for the general Tufts community through personal projects with other passionate developers.
Outside of work, you can catch me watching movies with my friends and family, trying new restaurants, or gathering Pikmin for a new adventure.
