About Me
Introduction
Hi, I'm Hanbin Tan (小寒冰), an AWS Certified Software Engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from UC San Diego (Class of 2026) and incoming M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech OMSCS (Fall 2026). I specialize in serverless architectures, full-stack development, and building scalable cloud solutions that automate workflows and boost productivity.
Based in California, I'm passionate about creating efficient solutions to complex problems and bridging the gap between innovative technology and real-world applications. I have experience working with enterprise teams, educational institutions, and building systems that handle thousands of users.
When I'm not coding, I love travel, exploring new tech, learning new things, and hitting the GYM everyday. I'm always excited to take on new challenges and push the boundaries of what's possible with technology.
