River Wang
Software Developer | Internet Privacy Advocate | LGBTQ+ Ally
Nerd by nature, developer by trade. I specialize in backend systems and ETL pipelines. I have a passion for inclusive software and I am always looking for ways to contribute to the community. When I'm not coding, you can find me hosting board game nights, advocating for internet privacy, or reading! I love everything from sci-fi, to relationship help, and eastern philosophy. I believe software should start with developers who care about the people behind the screen.
📔 Education
University of Western Ontario
Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer Science and Specialization in Software Engineering
- GPA 3.7/4.0, Dean’s Honour List
I have many fond memories of my time at Western, and I’m grateful for the education and experiences I had there. I loved participating in conferences as a member of the Women in Tech Society, and competing in hackathons with my friends.
My favourite courses were Human Computer Interaction, Distributed Systems, and Sex and Sci-Fi.
My favourite library was Taylor Library, although you could always find me in room MC236 (the one without windows) studying with my friends.
I’m always happy to connect with fellow Western alumni, so feel free to reach out!
