CS + HCI/AI @ Virginia Tech · SDE Intern @ AWS
Elizabeth Ho
Hi, I'm Elizabeth! I'm a Computer Science student with minors in Human-Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence at Virginia Tech, and a returning SDE intern at AWS. I'm interested in building technology that enhances everyday lives, especially through thoughtful and intuitive design.
I'm especially drawn to the design side of tech: understanding how people actually use a product, and what makes something feel easy or frustrating. That's what led me to full-stack development, where I get to both design and build, turning ideas into something real and usable.
