Background

About Andy Hsu

Hi there! I am a senior at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a major in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I spent the summer of 2022 interning at FanDuel, working on the data engineering team and improving multiple data pipelines. I have also spent multiple semesters interning at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, developing and optimizing simulations that will predict the topography of Europa (a moon of Jupiter) prior to the 2030 arrival of a corresponding NASA mission (Europa Clipper). Additionally, I was a co-lead of a team in the Texas Rocket Engineering Lab (TREL), developing test plans and designing/building a test stand to test the fluid components of the rocket. I was also able to use my Python experience to host coding tutorials for the lab, as well as develop an interactive GUI application that quickly visualizes test data and significantly reduces test turnaround time. I am interested in data-driven decision-making and would love to apply my diverse array of experiences to an opportunity in data analytics or data science. In my free time, I developed a space-themed game in JAVA, modeling the effects of gravity on a hypothetical golf ball. I am passionate about baseball (go San Francisco Giants!), playing percussion, and biking around Austin!
