About Me

Sarah Diaz

I'm a Computer Science student at New Mexico State University with a passion for building things that make an impact. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and engineering — whether that's developing mixed reality training tools, competing in hackathons, or diving deep into compilers.

I've competed in Google Student Developer Club coding competitions (and won 1st place!), attended the Great Minds in STEM conference hackathon in Pasadena, and was selected for the Google Tech Exchange Program — taking courses taught by senior engineers on industry-standard tools and technologies.

Most recently, I interned with the US Army DEVCOM C5ISR Center in Virginia, where I built mixed reality HoloLens applications to create immersive training simulations for soldiers.
