Fun Facts
Hello! My name is James Niere, if there is anything that I want people to know about me, is that I am a Christian
saved and found through the amazing grace of God. I was a wretched sinner who was lost beyond imagination, but is forgivem by the great love
of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
I am Berkeley EECS major who discovered my passion for code throughout college,
more specifically, in the field of Front End Software Engineering. Additionally, in the STEM field, I have done my fair share of research
on (Nutritional Science), AI (Artificial Intelligence), Economics (Socio-Economic (Tech/Social), and Language Acquisition).
Aside from STEM, I am also interested in Lingustics as I speak 3 languages fluently for everyday life (English and Tagalog) (fluent), Korean (독학으로 배웠습니다 - recognized as fluent from UC Berkeley,
tested out all elementary level Korean classes (out of the 1,10, and 100A series)
did not take any Korean class explicitly but tested out for fun).
Fun Fact: I also have a passion for music, more specifically for lyric writing, as I got to work with and become friends with a Korean rapper 다민이 (Damini), who featured on one of Korea's most premier hip-hop youtube platforms (DingoFreestyle 2.02 Million Subscribers on Youtube)
and Korea's most famous rap show 쇼미더머니 (Show Me The Money).
“Show it and prove it don’t just say it, words are cheap, but actions are valued” - 잠언
