Hi, I'm Steven! I'm a a fourth year CS major at the University of California, Irvine and a passionate software engineer with 5+ years of experience.
About me
I got my start in a High School programming class and have been building my fundamentals ever since, learning technologies like React, Next.js, Node.js, MySQL, TypeScript, Python, and Prisma. Currently I’m diving into AWS and cloud infrastructure to broaden my backend skills.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy , lifting weights, watching movies, and trying new cafe spots. I'm always curious, learning new things, and seeking my next opportunities.
