Profile: https://flows.cv/akuang

I am a software engineer by accident, but a problem solver by choice.

During my college years, I initially aspired to major in Computer Engineering because I enjoyed using my hands and working with hardware components. The university I attended only offered Computer Science as a major. It was in my first programming course that I realized my true passion was not in hardware but in problem solving. 

Currently, I’m a fullstack developer with a bias toward the frontend. I’m all about creating a clean and user-friendly experience. Think Apple, Uber, Square. These companies do a great job and serve as my inspiration. The best part of what I do is seeing users light up and enjoy what I’ve built. 

Beyond the code, I'm a volleyball enthusiast. I'm not exactly tall by volleyball standards. In a game where height can give you a big advantage, I've been working on my vertical jump to make up for it. Sure, being tall and strong helps, but the real winners are the teams that click and collaborate seamlessly.
