About Me

I’m a Software Engineer with a passion for building the most effective workforces possible and building Technologies that makes a difference. I have a background in Public Accounting and Private Tax Consulting.

I joined App Academy after doing some research for bootcamps and based on some good friends' recommendations. After committing more than 1000 hours in four months in the bootcamp, I was able to learn many technologies such as Javascript, React, Redux, AWS, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Mongoose, and many more. After bootcamp, I am currently picking up Python and learning more about React Hooks. With these technologies, I was able to apply my knowledge and create my own projects. You can check them out here:

Beside coding, I especially passioniate about Music and Fitness. I am constantly finding a balance between lifting heavy weights with bass music and practicing the latest choreographs with Kpop musics.
