Welcome to my website! My name is Laura Pak, and I am an honors computer science student at the University of Texas at Dallas, and my passion is machine learning with a side of app development. I believe the most important skill you can cultivate is applied communication--being able to take in other people's ideas while conveying your own.
After I graduate in May, I hope to start work immediately in software engineering and app development. Once I settle in with a few years of experience, though, I'd like to take classes on the side for a masters in machine learning and/or artificial intelligence, hopefully with a focus on natural language processing.
