JB (Jungbin) Oh
I am a graduating student at Middlebury College who is seeking careers in technology and research.
As a software engineer, I spent the past 3 years mastering major coding languages and conducting web-application projects. Adept in a full-stack JavaScript and Python, I have a passion for developing innovative products with my technical skills and cross-functional insights from liberal arts academic background.
As a researcher, I execute research projects with a creative mindset and a holistic approach. I developed qualitative and quantitative skills in digital sociology that study how technology influences the way we live our lives. To draw an accurate conclusion, I utilize diversified research and analysis methods that I acquired from college and working experience, backed up by multiple technical skills in using digital tools and in developing software.
