Alton Wu
UCLACivil Engineering, B.S.
Los Angeles, CA
Studying at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, I am passionate about structural engineering, project management, and construction. Through various projects and coursework, I have developed skills in MATLAB, AutoCAD, and project planning.
In my free time, I enjoy participating in triathlons, playing board games, and joining in on zombie tag, gambling nights (with chips not worth money), and murder mystery events. I believe in the power of community and teamwork to achieve great things. Let's connect!
