Location: Washington DC-Baltimore Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/christiancrawford

Hello, my name is Christian Crawford. I'm a recent college graduate from the illustrious Hampton University with a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems. I developed my love for technology from a young age and it has only grown stronger as I continued to learn more throughout the years. This passion led me to take courses in web design and development and Java programming in high school. I also pursued and participated in hackathons, personal programming, design projects, pitch competitions, and a software engineering boot camp.

I have recently had a software engineering internship at Target. During this internship, I was exposed to different concepts, languages, tools, and a fast pace and welcoming work environment. I was exposed to software tools and languages including Kotlin, Groovy, MongoDB, Grafana, unit testing, Typescript, Jira, and many more. Currently, I am a User Experience lead at Hampton University for BVCC and pursuing an internship and other opportunities. Also, in January 2022, I was a Wintern for Morning Star. 

I am open and excited for future collaboration and creation with other software engineers, game developers, and other creators. I love to hear about computer science-related topics, gaming, anime, and anything else. So, please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or send me an email!
