Hello! I'm Eric Kim, a third-year Computer Science student at Northeastern University with a strong focus on full-stack development. My goal is to leverage my skills in both front-end and back-end technologies to create innovative software solutions.

I bring hands-on experience from a year-long internship at ChefMod, where I refined my front-end development skills and contributed to impactful projects, including the Crypto Pairs Trading system. This role, combined with my academic training and personal projects, has given me a solid foundation in building and optimizing complex applications.

Currently, I serve as the Explorer Series Director at Oasis, a student club dedicated to helping newcomers build their first website or app. In this role, I’ve revamped our curriculum to better integrate with other Computer Science clubs at Northeastern, offering resources and guidance for both beginners and those looking to deepen their understanding of front-end development tools and libraries.

I’m eager to bring my skills and passion to a dynamic development team. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together!
