Introduction

Hey there!
My name is Jackie, and I'm a Computer Science Master's student from the University of British Columbia. I have a passion for software development, and I always aim to deliver high quality, user-centered products that exceed expectations. (I am currently working on building a new website using React as this one is a bit outdated, look forward to sharing it soon!)

Software development is more than just coding to me. It is a field that requires great interpersonal skills, a firm understanding of the technical concepts, as well as a hunger to always learn new things. As a result, I am constantly seeking to improve on these aspects of my professional career in order to communicate and collaborate more effectively with my team and to identify optimal solutions to the challenges we face.

My other passions include going to the movies, travelling, working out, and playing video games in my free time.
