Profile: https://flows.cv/austinsong

I am a software engineer with a strong foundation in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and SQL, honed through hands-on experience and education at Fullstack Academy. Originally graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Economics and a minor in Business Fundamentals, I pivoted to software engineering to pursue my passion for problem-solving and technology. My recent project, Tap In, highlights my ability to develop robust web applications, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and deliver features that enhance user experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments, emphasizing clear communication, process improvement, and teamwork to achieve seamless and efficient project execution. My previous experience in client-facing roles has also strengthened my ability to understand stakeholder needs and deliver tailored solutions. I am excited to bring my technical expertise, adaptability, and drive for continuous learning to a dynamic software engineering team.
