About Me
Hi! I'm John, a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with a passion for building products that make a real difference. With over 5 years of experience in the tech industry, I've had the privilege of working with startups and enterprises alike.
My journey in software development started during my time at UC Berkeley, where I discovered the joy of turning ideas into working applications. Since then, I've been on a continuous learning path, always exploring new technologies and methodologies.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me hiking in the Bay Area trails, experimenting with new coffee brewing methods, or contributing to open-source projects. I believe in giving back to the community that has given me so much.
