About Elijah Amian

I\'ve always been interested in art, but in college, I found a new passion for computer science. At Qualcomm, I didn\'t just focus on design; I also improved software speed and user experience. During college, I worked on a project to make gene data more accessible. I enjoy both front-end and back-end development and love finding user-focused solutions to complex problems
