About
I always had a passion for the arts, from playing the piano to painting and acting. I also enjoyed
playing sports and staying physically active.
While I was growing up, I realized that I had a knack
for a variety of activities.
However, I ultimately chose to pursue a career in software
engineering, as I felt that this would be the best way for me to make a positive impact on the world.
I started out as a frontend developer, as I am passionate about creating great UI/UX designs.
With my skills as a product owner, designer, and user, I am able to come up with creative ideas that
enhance team productivity and become an effective developer until the project is completed.
My ability to convince others and create a pleasant work environment has made me an essential member of
the team.
I am proud of what I do and love being able to create something that benefits the world.
With the experiences and lessons I have gained, I am now ready to face the greater challenges ahead.
With confidence..
Skills
Given a great sense of Coding and Designing,
Software Engineering has been my most delightening work throughout the life.
I began my career as a Frontend Developer but I never stop widening my expertise areas including
API-design, DevOps, Backend Development, Leadership and more.
