// Hello World!
Richard Baltazar
CS Graduate · UC San Diego · San Diego, CA
A CS grad from UC San Diego who fell in love with two things: engineering problems and analyzing data to understand the world. I love building things that make people's lives easier and more enjoyable, and I enjoy digging into data to uncover insights that can drive better decisions. I've shipped full-stack apps, dug into enrollment datasets, and designed experiences people actually want to use, all before my degree. With my experience and passion, I'm ready for what's next.
