I'm Celestin

Software engineer and CS student at the University of Washington with deep interests in backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and data science. I ship fast, care about clean architecture, and focus on building systems that solve real problems at scale.

My love for programming started with Hour of Code in elementary school and was cemented by a robotics class my freshman year of high school. Since then I've interned at a startup and at UW, founded the 2nd largest CS club at UWT, and organized the largest hackathon south of Seattle. When I'm not coding you'll find me watching Manchester United or raving.

I founded a 25-member software consultancy, organized the largest hackathon south of Seattle, and built a mentorship program that's placed 14 students into internships. I care about creating opportunities for others to grow.
