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!

Sonification | NASA Hackerthon _ Python, Streamlit
Designed & developed sonification, translations of 2D astronomical data into sound, to provide a different perceptual path that can help understand and appreciate the wonders of the universe. Used OpenCV to extract the RGB values from the image. Then, used each infrared image to determine out note’s pitch, volume, and length. Stored these values in a Numpy array as input for audio and finally, used a library, Sounddevice, to output data.
