Hello! I'm Vivid Lorthongpanich, but you can just call me In!
I'm a Master's student studying Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, where I also received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a minor in Business. I've always been drawn to the space where technology and business overlap, and I truly enjoy finding ways to solve messy, real-world problems.
My journey from Thailand to the United States helped shape a deep appreciation for both cultural and personal diversity. As I adapted to new environments, I discovered the joy of forming meaningful connections in the most unexpected places — and with it, a lasting passion for community building. Whether mentoring peers, leading projects, or simply helping others feel like they belong, I try to show up with empathy and curiosity in everything I do.
When I'm not in class, you'll probably find me at the UGLi with friends late at night, or out sharing a laugh over some yummy food around Ann Arbor (probably Hola Seoul). Please feel free to take a look at my experiences or say hello! I'd love to hear from you!
