Hello, my name is Eric Weng, and welcome to my personal website.
I am a new computer science graduate interested in software development, cybersecurity, and computer graphics. I have experience in numerous programming tools and techniques through extensive hands-on project experience, both for school and for fun. Outside of academics, I have tutored students and sung in choir, improving my communication and collaboration skills in the process.
I am looking for work as a software engineer in the New York Metro Area. You will find that I can quickly adapt to new technologies and solve complex problems. I have always been motivated to benefit the lives of the public with computing, and am eager to apply my strong programming and interpersonal skills to help deliver impactful solutions.
If you believe I can contribute at your organization, I can be reached at my contact details below.

Technical Project: A Data-Driven Recommender for Gamified Classroom Designs
Research Project: The Underlying Reason for Mixed Results in Gamification Studies
Summary: Educators are exploring gamification as a strategy to motivate and engage students in classrooms and improve their grades. Despite some promising findings, most research studies yield inconclusive results and product vendors propagate misinformation. I construct a data-driven recommender tool that aggregates multiple papers to compensate for the lack of rigorous and empirical experimental design.
