Profile: https://flows.cv/austinkim

I graduated with BS in physiology / neuroscience and worked on several projects under the supervision of three world renowned professors at a highly competitive neuroscience university. I was introduced to Matlab programming during my last research project in a computational neurobiology lab, which began my voyage into the realms of computer science. What started as an investigation to broaden my capabilities for my intended PhD studies turned into a new inquisition. I became friends with the CEO of Domo, Josh James, and he offered me to work for him, despite my inexperience. While working at Domo, I took several online classes at universities or coding sites. I have come to love mastering new concepts and developing creative and elegant solutions.
