I am a Backend Software Engineer passionate about building scalable systems and automation.
- 🎓 BS in Computer Engineering from UCLA
- 💼 Backend Engineer at TimelyCare
- 🌱 Currently learning Go and exploring system design patterns
- 🚀 Focused on writing maintainable, scalable code that delivers business value
- 🏗️ System Design & Architecture
- 🔧 DevOps & Infrastructure
- 📚 Technical Documentation
- 🧪 Exploring New Technologies
I believe in:
- Systematic Development: Building software methodically with a focus on long-term maintainability
- Fast and Iterative Progress: Starting with MVPs and evolving based on real-world feedback
- Driving Business Value: Knowing when to prioritize for speed or maintainability
- Automation First: Automating repetitive tasks
My journey in software engineering has taught me the importance of sustainable development practices. For example, I used to spend hours manually setting up Raspberry Pi devices each year. So I wrote automation scripts, now I can set up a new headless Raspberry Pi in a few commands.
This experience shaped my view on software development. It keeps me grounded in what actually matters. It's all about solving problems with software. Too often I find myself getting stuck in optimizing for long-term maintainability, or code cleanliness. I lose sight of the actual problem I'm trying to solve. Hahaha, things were much simpler when I didn't know how to code.
I'm always looking to collaborate on interesting projects. Let's connect!
