About Me

New Grad Data Science

-

  • Name: KC Kim (Kyoungcheol Kim)
  • Location: San Jose, CA USA
  • School: UC Berkeley, Class of 2023
  • Degree: Bachelor of Data Science

     Hey, my name's KC! I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2023, majoring in Data Science. Originally from South Korea, I now live in the Bay Area. After serving in both the ROK Army and US Army, and gaining five years of experience in different fields, I made the decision to go back to college and pursue a new career as an engineer. It was definitely a tough time. I had to start from scratch, studying a whole new field as a full-time student. Simultaneously, I ran an online business with my lovely wife to make ends meet in the Bay Area. Despite the challenges, I am thrilled to witness my continuous learning, growth, and progress as I work towards my goals. I firmly believe in the phrase "Connecting the dots." With my motivated, positive, and persevering mindset, the threads of my experiences will form a vast and sturdy net. Thank you for visiting my website. GO BEARS!
