# Miles W. > Software Engineer @ Meta | CS @ UCLA Location: Milpitas, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/milesw Hello! I'm a recent graduate passionate about adding value to others' experiences, whether they be peers, customers, or otherwise. I love building others up by figuring out what they need to thrive and giving them resources/advice to help them achieve their goals. As such, a lot of the programs I enjoy being part of are related to community building, entrepreneurship, teaching, and leadership. My primary expertise is in software development but I am getting more and more exposure to the world of product, management, and consulting. Moreover, I am always striving to expand my skills and learn new ways to engage with the tech industry! Feel free to contact me if you want to chat, get advice, or bring up opportunities! Always open to help support others and discuss new ideas! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Meta Jan 2022 – Present | Menlo Park, California, United States ### Project Advisor @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 - Acted as advisor for ACM Hack committee's initiatives by drawing on past experiences with logistical planning and strategy to make recommendations for direction and execution - Created opportunities to provide feedback and help directors iterate and adjust on their ideas ### Director Of Operations @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Los Angeles, California, United States - Contributed to setting the direction of ACM Hack's annual beginner friendly 12-hour hackathon, focused on adapting to a hybrid environment in order to still provide value to virtual participants - Wrote proposals to directors on ways to optimize participant experience via Discord utilization - Outlined strategy and logistics to be executed on the day of the event, delegating roles to all members of the team, and ensuring responsibilities are carried out in order for the hackathon to run smoothly ### Curriculum Developer @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Los Angeles, California, United States ### Development Team Lead @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Los Angeles, California, United States ### Director Of Operations @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Los Angeles, California, United States - Strategized, discussed, and executed plans with directors for Hack Kitchen, an annual coding challenge event, in order to optimize participants’ experience and minimize pain points during the event. - Efforts to streamline the processes of the event resulted in overwhelming participant satisfaction, with 96% positive feedback - Featured in the ACM International Newsletter ### Curriculum Developer @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Los Angeles, California, United States - Planned and developed curriculum for a React Native mobile app development educational workshop series targeted towards beginner app developers and students interested in exploring new fields. - Taught workshops with average turnout of 25+ live participants and 160+ asynchronous views on the fundamentals of mobile development with React Native and Firebase ### Program Director @ ACM at UCLA Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Los Angeles, California, United States - Taught workshops and structured curriculum for a quarter long web app development educational program with average turnout of 70+ participants per week and 200+ views per session;
