About Me:
Hello, my name is Christopher Villalpando. I am a graduate student pursuing a Masters in Computer Engineering with a focus on Computer Networks under the guidance of Professor Katia Obraczka.
I obtained my Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering at UC Santa Cruz in 2017. As an undergradute I completed 2 concentrations: Robotics & Control, and Computer Networks. I have grown to love working with both Software and Hardware, hence my motivation to study Computer Engineering. As a student, I seek to obtain the skills and knowledge to materialize the ideas in my head and develop solutions to emerging issues. My end goal is to become an inventor and entrepreneur.
