About Me
I am a software engineer with experience in React/Redux, JavaScript, Python, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Express, Node.js, and Amazon S3. In my past role as a math teacher, I consistently encouraged my students to adopt a growth mindset—a philosophy I wholeheartedly embraced in my own life. Continuously seeking new opportunities and avenues for personal and professional growth is a fundamental aspect of my approach.
On my spare time, I enjoy weightlifting, playing basketball, going on hikes, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
