# Christina H. Yun > Software Engineer @ Pinterest 📌 Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/christinahyun Programming has been an extension of everything else I've ever pursued: The excitement of learning, the attempts and numerous failures, but then the singular success after many tries. Realizing that this would be the process I got to do in engineering was revealing enough that I changed careers to pursue this dream of solving bigger and cooler problems with the help of computers. For me, whether it’s logistical puzzles, new recipes, or building new programs, I get a high from creating order from chaos, finding the fun in that which is unsexy (did I mention I love organization?) and, honestly, being proven wrong so I can do better next time.
