# Nathan Bernardo > Software Engineer Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nathanbernardo Hi there! I recently graduated with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine. I am very interested in applying my knowledge in - Safe Reinforcement Learning - Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing - Autonomous Vehicles - System Design - UI/UX Design Even though I specialized in Digital Signal Processing, I have focused on developing my knowledge in Software Engineering. I'm looking to make an impact in AI, specifically making AI safe as a product for users. I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment with agile methodologies. I accumulate knowledge in various fields to keep my technical knowledge sharp and well-rounded. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ SK hynix memory solutions America Inc.
