Hi, I'm Trace Glasby
Computer Science Student & Software Engineer
I'm a third-year Computer Science student at UNC Chapel Hill who's passionate about building high-impact, innovative software solutions.
About Me
CS @ UNC Chapel Hill
I'm currently a Software Engineer Intern at Nutanix! I'm a third-year at UNC Chapel Hill pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science.
Outside of work and class, I love to build computers and I'm a huge UNC sports fan. I also love reading, watching, or playing anything sci-fi or dystopian. My favorite video game is Cyberpunk 2077, and my favorite book is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
