Hi, my name is

Fernando Rivera.

I'm a software engineer at Google who loves leveraging technology to make incredible products.
I recently received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in statistics from the University of Florida, and am starting out my career as a software engineer with Google Commerce. As someone interested in technology, I love learning new skills and utilizing them to create useful projects. I can usually be found typing away at my mechanical keyboard or keeping up with the latest phone and gadget releases. When I'm not at my desk, I enjoy playing ultimate and tennis, cooking, photography, and finding more music to add to my playlists. Check out my blog or nature photography if you're interested!
