NOAM BEN SIMON

Hey! I'm Noam, a Dean's List Computer Science student at Yeshiva University.

While in school, I have worked hard to grow and develop my skill set and knowledge in the field, including projects such as this website, a rhythm game I built with my friends, and a mock of AWS Lambda for distributed compute.

WHAT I AM UP TO

PROFESSIONAL

I am currently interning for my university, building a website to host educational content available to all. This work involves designing and developing all aspects of the site, from the Figma designs to the CMS schema and implementation. Although I am still working in this position, I can already attest to the large growth and experience I've gained. This ranges from learning to better manage large responsibilities and workloads to expanding my knowledge in full-stack tools and frameworks.

ACADEMIC

I am entering my fourth and final year of a bachelors in Computer Science with a focus on Distributed Systems. Through my classes, coursework, projects, and extracurriculars, I have built myself a strong foundation in the field of software engineering. This includes work in parallel programming, distributed systems, networking, and cybersecurity. Along with this goes my work outside the classroom, such as in my position as Head Website Manager for the YU Observer, an independent school news publication, where my department works to manage and update the publication's website.

PERSONAL

I am currently enjoying my summer! Between my weekdays working, I have found time on weekends to hang out with friends, visit family - in Israel, Florida, and North Carolina, and tour New York City! When I'm not studying or working, you can find me spending time reading, listening to music, or bouldering.

If you're looking for a new book, here are a few I've read recently that I recommend:

  • Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Friedrich Nietzsche)
  • The Myth of Sisyphus (Albert Camus)
  • Oathbringer (Brandon Sanderson)
  • The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

And for music recommendations, here are some of my current favorite albums:
  • Breakfast In America (Supertramp)
  • Stones (Neil Diamond)
  • LUX (ROSALÍA)
  • choke enough (Oklou)
