I’m an aspiring software engineer with a passion for solving real-world problems through code. After gaining experience in data analysis and project management as a Clinical Research Coordinator, I transitioned into software development, where I now enjoy building full-stack applications.
- Languages: JavaScript, Python, SQL, HTML, CSS
- Frameworks & Libraries: React, Redux, Flask, Express, Sequelize, SQLAlchemy
- Databases: PostgreSQL, SQLite3
- Tools & Platforms: AWS, Render, Git, GitHub
- Other: Data Analysis, Project Management, Client Management
- KayKew: A comprehensive note-taking and task management app that helps users stay organized. Built with Express, React, Redux, and PostgreSQL.
- Artisan Alley: An Etsy-inspired e-commerce platform developed collaboratively. Full-stack development with Flask and React.
Enhancing my full-stack development skills:
- Advanced React and Redux: Diving deeper into state management, hooks, and optimizing performance in large applications.
- Testing Frameworks: Exploring testing tools like Jest and React Testing Library to write better unit and integration tests for my applications.
- TypeScript: Learning how to add static types to my JavaScript code for better code quality and debugging.
- Version Control Best Practices: Enhancing my understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies, and contributing to open-source projects.
- Agile Methodologies: Gaining hands-on experience with Scrum and Kanban to improve teamwork and project delivery.
- Algorithms and Data Structures: Practicing coding challenges to strengthen problem-solving skills and prepare for technical interviews.
- DevOps Fundamentals: Experimenting with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to streamline application development and deployment processes.
- Contribute to Open-Source Projects: Actively contribute to open-source communities to collaborate with developers globally and improve my coding skills.
- Build a Portfolio of Full-Stack Projects: Complete and showcase a portfolio of full-stack applications using different tech stacks like MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) and Flask.
- Achieve Proficiency in TypeScript: Develop a strong understanding of TypeScript and integrate it into my JavaScript projects to improve code quality and maintainability.
- Learn Cloud Computing: Gain hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure to deploy and scale applications.
- Master Containerization with Docker & Kubernetes: Learn how to containerize my applications using Docker and manage them using Kubernetes to optimize deployment and scalability.
- Improve Algorithm and Data Structure Knowledge: Regularly practice algorithm challenges on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank to strengthen problem-solving skills for technical interviews.
- Gain Experience with DevOps Tools: Implement CI/CD pipelines and learn tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Docker to streamline the development and deployment process.
- Create a Personal Blog or Website: Develop and maintain a personal website to document my projects, learning experiences, and share insights with the developer community.
- Participate in Hackathons: Join hackathons to challenge myself, collaborate with others, and rapidly prototype innovative ideas.
- Pass the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean): Continue learning Korean with the goal of passing the TOPIK exam to enhance my communication skills and explore future opportunities.
