About

I am a software develop engineer with over 10 years of experience in the industry. Having worked for a variety of companies, including some of my own startups, I have perfected my abilities to receive feedback on software issues and potential problems and fix as necessary. I have lived in both China and the United States, allowing me to be exposed to new ways of doing things and continuing my thirst for knowledge. Throughout my work experience, I have found that my entrepreneurship and my ability to change and adapt are my biggest strengths. I am always looking to better myself as an maker and learn as much as I can in order to perform my job to the best of my abilities. I am always eager for the next opportunity and where it will lead me.
