About Me 🌺

Full-Stack Developer // Designer // Linguist

A passionate Full Stack Software Developer & Designer with an urge to learn new technologies and skills. I was born and raised on Saipan, one of the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. Moved to the city of angels in 2011.

Due to the reason I've moved around a lot as a kid, I've developed a strong curiosity about how others see the world and to view life from other perspectives, to learn how people deal with the same problem differently. Traveling force you to take in new and refreshing perspectives. If I'm not coding, you'll find me traveling or playing League of Legends.

My interests have always been around languages (human or computer) and Human-Computer interaction. I believe that making an application to reach its full potential not only require innovative ideas but also with great designs & functionalities. As a future Software Engineer, I want to be able to solve problems in creative ways while hopefully impacting the lives of others.

Education:
UCLA 17; Linguistics Major w/ spcialization in Computing
UCLA Extension 19; Full Stack Software Development, Certified

Languages I Speak:
Chinese Mandarin // Cantonese // Shanghainese // French // English
