# 🌈Ashley Yan > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ashleyyan Following my lifelong love of challenging myself, learning new things, being creative, and solving puzzles led me to pursue a career in software engineering, where I am constantly faced with new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. I thrive in collaborative settings, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives and the power of teamwork. I motivated to make a meaningful impact with my work. In my free time, I enjoy jiu-jitsu, rock climbing, spending time in nature, and creating art in many forms. I'm also a dedicated butler for 2 floofy cats and a silly one-eyed doggo named Eleanor 😸 🐶 Let's connect! I would love to contribute to any new projects or lend a hand debugging! 🙂 * message me here * email: ashley.yan.devs@gmail.com * portfolio: ashley-yan.com ## Work Experience ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Arine Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Arine Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco, California, United States ### Software Engineer Intern @ Daylight Computer Co.
