#meta #personal
Hi, my name is William Widjaja :)
I’m currently a UCSD student studying Computer Science, fueled by curiosity, a love for people, and, of course, never enough rice. 🍚
a little about me
I was born in 2005 and identify as Indonesian-American 🇮🇩 🇺🇸. I’ve always been fascinated by technology and problem-solving, which naturally led me into computer science.
When I’m not buried in coursework, you can usually find me learning something new, cooking up a meal, or exploring places with friends.
professional life
In the past, I had the chance to work as an intern for Saciva, a startup I joined through the Break Through Tech AI program at UCLA. Before stepping into tech, I spent almost two years at Chick-fil-A, which taught me a lot about teamwork, communication, and dealing with fast-paced environments.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to keep finding opportunities that challenge me and allow me to grow both technically and professionally.
Right now, I’m involved in a few roles that keep me busy and connected with different communities on campus:
- 🎟️ Student Representative at the UCSD Triton Box Office
 - 💻 Event Director for UCSD ACM
 - ♠️ Vice President of Poker Tritons
 
hobbies & interests
Outside of school and work, I try to keep life balanced and fun. Some of my main hobbies include:
- Cooking (I love experimenting in the kitchen 🍳)
 - Learning new languages
 - Playing racket sports
 - Exploring new places
 - Hanging out with friends
 - Watching Anime and K-Dramas 🎬
 - Working on personal coding projects
 - Playing video games (favorites: Minecraft, Skyrim, Undertale, Tetris)
