Oliver Gao

Hi! I'm Oliver. I'm a third-year student at the University of Michigan studying computer science. I'm interested in building beautiful technology that people love and find incredibly useful in their daily lives.

Currently, I'm a full stack developer building Braid, a platform to connect BIPOC entrepreneurs in the field of public interest technology. This past summer, I worked on Snagit as a software engineer intern at TechSmith.

Besides tech related things, I enjoy running, eating, cooking, watching YouTube videos, and playing the violin in the Michigan Pops Orchestra.
