About Me
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Eric Park — a third-year Computer Science student at McMaster University with a passion for building impactful, user-centric software. I specialize in full-stack development, with experience in React, Node.js, and database technologies like MongoDB. From crafting real-time transit apps to working on automating tasks and pipelining, I love solving complex problems and learning by building.
I'm currently looking for internship/co-op opportunities for 2027 Spring and Summer term where I can contribute to meaningful projects, grow as a developer, and collaborate with a passionate team. Outside of tech, you'll probably find me in the gym, playing pool or basketball with my friends, or talking about cars.
