A bit about me:

I’m Daniel Baek, a senior at Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles. I’m drawn to the intersection of machine learning, civil engineering, and sustainable urban design—especially where they overlap to make transportation more accessible, efficient, and human-centered.

​

At school, I co-lead a STEM outreach club that brings hands-on engineering and coding workshops to middle schools across Studio City. I also serve as a student ambassador and compete on the debate team, where I’ve spent the last few years building arguments, coaching younger debaters, and traveling to tournaments.

​

Beyond campus, I’m heavily involved in service through my scouting and Venture crew, organizing community projects and mentoring younger scouts. I stay busy in computer science too, working on machine learning projects and competing in programming contests whenever I can.

​

Overall, I’m motivated by work that blends technical innovation with real-world impact—and I’m always looking for new ways to bridge those worlds.
