Ngoc Ta is a fourth-year Computer Science and Math major from Oakland, California. Given their passion for learning new concepts and helping people with technology, they enjoy their work as a Vivero fellow. Their hobbies include reading, playing video games, and ensuring that every cat they meet knows it is the most perfect creature in existence.
Working as a digital fellow under Professor Shigeta-Schimmel, Ngoc is mapping out the interactive timelines and coding the digital infrastructure needed to showcase how these early Japanese students shaped global history. They approach building this website with the exact same level of stubborn dedication and perfectionism they usually reserve for their absolute favorite task: worshiping cats.
