Hi! I am May Kim and I write backend code and maintain cloud services infrastructure at Parsec in Unity Technologies. When I started having more fun making browser widgets and laboratory gadgets than doing actual research in my microbiology PhD program, I decided software engineering was a good path forward for me. I’ve contributed to all stack at Parsec, as well as building out internal metrics tools that others can use to improve their workflow. I enjoy working on the whole process of building an app, front to back and everything in between.
