Biography

Diego de Jong Portrait

Hi, I'm Diego de Jong, and I'm a computer scientist!

I'm a 3rd-year undergraduate at Grand Valley State University, and am currently interning with Rep4FinLit, where I help create their website, financial personality quiz, and AI chatbot using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

On campus, I serve as an EBoard leader for the Computing Club, Pokémon Club, and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, where I manage funding and help organize events.

My long-term goal is to combine my technical skills and creativity to build engaging video games. In the meantime, I’m focused on growing as a developer through both professional opportunities and community involvement.
