My name is Rohan Samanta. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Statistics. I have interned on the Xbox team at Microsoft for 2 summers. Currently I work as a full-time software engineer on the Xbox web and console store shopping experience. I have directly contributed to Xbox.com and the Xbox Console Store. I am passionate about learning multiple computer science skills and making projects where I dive deep into new technology. My interests are in software development, machine learning, and statistics. Outside of coding, I like to explore Seattle and enjoy lifting at the gym. In my spare time I watch anime and play video games with my friends.
