Danny is currently a Software Engineer working on core infrastructure at Google. Danny has had experiences in distributed systems, databases, networking, and security.

Danny thinks that computer science is important because computers have become substantially powerful and accessible - solutions that we can build through CS can impact the world at an unprecedented scale, and access to a laptop grants you (almost) the same development tools and power as a professional engineer. If you've ever been curious about how you're able to send selfies through Snapchat or how Fortnite allows you to shoot others down so smoothly, Computer Science may be the field for you.

Nairrit is a sophomore at Whitney High School and loves the fields of physics and computer science.

He explores the fields both separately and in their harmony with things such as computerized physics engines. Through his participation in Code Jam and Robotics Club, Nairrit hopes to learn even more about STEM and its intricacies in high school and beyond.
