Software Engineer

About

Howdy! I’m Reniel (pronounced reh-neel) and I’m currently a software engineer at Multi Media LLC, where I develop projects and interfaces related to live streaming and chat experiences that are enjoyed by millions of users.

I attribute my start into programming when I began coding static HTML pages on Neopets. I’ve since developed my interests in web development, graphic design, and application architecture.

I enjoy bridging the gap between engineering and design, and try to make sure that the applications I work on are not only maintainable and efficient, but also look and feel good to use.

I’m currently based in southern California after having graduated from the University of California, Irvine. Apart from the title of engineer, I’ve also been a researcher, a tutor, a freelancer, and am always looking for opportunities to expand my skillset.

Aside from doing computer-y things, I enjoy attending live concerts, eating a good bowl of poke, and I’m also currently learning French! Petit a petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.

If you’ve made it this far, feel free to scroll around and learn more about my background. If you have any questions, comments, or want to work with me in any capacity, email me! → renielxocampo@gmail.com

Animal Actions

An Alexa skill that asks kids to follow a narrative story and answer questions using their speech input. I worked with a team to iteratively develop this application and research ways to design voice user interfaces for children, refactoring and adding new features along the way.
