Biographies

Hi, I’m Danson Ma and I am a second-year mechanical engineering major. I was born in Zeeland, Michigan, and moved to Torrance, California, in 5th grade.

Hello! My name is John Walling and I am currently a third-year computer science major at the University of California, Irvine. I was originally a marine biology major, but decided to switch to computer science because I am not good at biology and technology had always interested me as well. So, in the future, I hope to combine my love for marine biology with computer science by working for a company that promotes ocean conservation. A fun fact about me is that I have never eaten at Panda Express and I don't plan to anytime soon. Some of my favorite hobbies include skateboarding, playing League of Legends, and doing yoga. Also on a side note, this is one of the first websites I've worked on so have mercy <3.
