Top School

Danielle Trinh is a versatile technical leader and software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience spanning backend systems, robotics, and ML-driven tooling. Currently Technical Chief of Staff at Yarbo and an undergraduate researcher at UCSD's Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab, she blends program-level strategy with low-level engineering—recently building modpack backend functionality in the Modrinth monorepo and developing an OptiTrack vision system for search-and-rescue robots. Her background includes automation and cost-saving software at Aerojet Rocketdyne, leading large intern cohorts at Boeing, and scaling youth robotics programs to record achievements. Equally comfortable mentoring as a longtime CodeDay lead and contributing to open-source hobby projects, she pairs technical depth in systems and ML with proven leadership in education and program operations. Educated in cognitive science and computer science with international study plans, she brings multidisciplinary curiosity and a knack for turning research-grade ideas into production-ready tools.
