# Bernard Ma > Senior Software Engineer Location: Greater Los Angeles, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/bernardma When I was 8, I was given a box of business cards by my parents. The moment that box was given to me, I truly knew what I wanted in life. To build. I wanted to build the biggest tower out of all these cards. Day in, day out, I continued to build. I would gradually make progress, but regardless of how creative I was, my tower always collapsed (half the time it was my Mom walking by blowing a huge breeze my way, grrr!). Despite these failures, I kept going. That is the person I am. Now, I put that perseverance (with all the skills I've learned along the way) to work as a full stack developer. I no longer have to think about creative ways to build that tower, only creative ways to structure, write and optimize code. I'm well-versed in front end development and have proficient knowledge in the backend.
