I am an undergraduate in Computer Science at University of Washington, WA. I am interested in data science and want to work in this field after graduating. Therefore, the DSSG program becomes a valuable opportunity for me to gain some experience on data science programming, and to learn how to collaborate with other scientists in this field.

My assigned project is Global Open Sidewalk, where I learned a lot on how to outline a new project over the week. I worked on AccessMap project last Spring quarter, which helps me to have a better understanding on what this project is about and what my role in this project is. On the other hand, everyone in this program seems professional and skillful, which gives me some stress and pushes me to continue learning.

I am very excited to work on this project, and I wish everyone could get what they want from this project at the end :)
