I’m Paul Choi,
a Software Engineer born and raised in Philadelphia.

I’ve graduated from Temple University in 2019 with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Data Science, and I’m currently actively searching for roles as a Software Engineer.

Since 2016, I’ve been the Director of Digital Technologies for Metro Church, based in Philadelphia, PA where I work with a great team to help advance our digital strategies, tools, and experiences through data-driven approaches.

Every August, you can find me volunteering on the operations and tech team for Pioneers For Christ, a 2-week long summer camp for elementary-to-high school students.

Learn more about me by checking out my LinkedIn, or by sending me an email. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
