I'm a new-grad software engineer who believes that thoughtful software can empower people to achieve more. I am passionate about creating software that people love using by grounding my work in problems people face while looking at solutions in cutting-edge research for inspiration.

I was a Grainger College of Engineering B.S. Computer Science student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). While there I was involved with the Philippine Student Association (PSA) and Reflections Projections in web infrastructure and mentoring roles. I've also previously taken innovation and entrepreneurship courses at Harvard Extension School.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at HubSpot where I solve for problems CMS developers face. While I'm not currently looking for new opportunities, I'm always open to connecting via linkedin/alprielse and alprielse@gmail.com!
