Hi, my name is Roland Yang! Iโm a Junior studying computer science at UCLA. I'm interested in software engineering, data engineering, and product management.
I was born and raised in central New Jersey. In my free time, I enjoy drumming, playing volleyball, hiking, playing video games (no surprise, REAL unique for a CS major), video editing, and chilling with my cats! ๐ฅ๐๐ฅพ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐จโ๐ป๐ฑ
Feel free to connect with me on any platform!
