Hi
there,
I’m Paul Wong,
a
sophomore
at
the
University
of
California,
Santa
Cruz.
For
over
6
years,
I
developed
a
passion
for
blending
aesthetics
with
functionality.
As
a
UI/UX
designer
and
engineer,
I’ve
honed
my
skills
in
creating
interfaces
that
are
not
only
visually
appealing
but
also
user-friendly.
I
spent
my
formative
years
co-founding
various
projects,
including
Blaze Wildfires


—
a
real-time
wildfire
tracker
app
recognized
for
its
innovation
and
utility
with
over
1,800
App
Store
downloads.
Continuing
on
this
path,
I
co-created
, a
package
manager
enhancing
package
management
experiences
for
iOS
users.
This
initiative
broadened
my
understanding
of
user
needs
and
interface
efficiency,
leading
to
over
37,000
downloads.
My
latest
ventures
include
Poppy
, a
health-tech
SaaS
that
leverages
AI
to
streamline
sexual
health
screenings;
OpenNote
, an
AI-powered
note
study
and
Overshoot
, an
AI-assisted
photography
app.
Both
projects
have
not
only
challenged
me
to
push
the
boundaries
of
user
experience
design
but
also
emphasized
the
role
of
clear,
impactful
communication
with
stakeholders
through
media production.
With
expertise
in
technologies
like
SwiftUI
, Python
, and
a
suite
of
design
software
including
Figma
and
Adobe
Creative
Suite
, I
specialize
in
turning
complex
concepts
into
seamless,
impactful
user
experiences.
In
my
spare
time,
I
enjoy
photography
and
playing
the
guitar.
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
can
give
them
some
love
too!
And
finally,
I
stand
by
my
motto
—
if
it
doesn’t
work,
don’t
use
it.
I
am
currently
exploring
new
opportunities
to
bring
my
unique
blend
of
design
innovation
and
technical
skill
to
more
projects.
Feel
free
to
reach
out
below
or
connect
with
me
on
.
Warm
regards,
Paul
Wong
