About me

Profile Image

I'm software engineer based in San Francisco, CA aspiring to build full stack applications, whether that be frontend, backend, database or anything in between.

I'm a recent graduate from University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I first learned the full stack development of web applications in college by building a mini blog in MEAN stack. Shortly after grudating, I self taught myself React through building multiple personal projects.

A few technologies I've been using recently:

  • Javascript(ES6+)
  • HTML&CSS
  • React
  • Node.js
  • Firebase
  • MongoDB
