Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/darrenyong

Formerly lost in the financial industry, I've taken the dive into tech. I'm a software engineer with a passion for React, Redux and Rails. My greatest sense of accomplishment comes from making things more efficient and I love that I'm able to do that as a software developer. I enjoy learning about new technologies to push myself to think more logically and methodically. 

When I'm not in front of a computer, you can find me exploring with my dog, playing any games I can get my hands on, video or board, and working on my car!

Skills: React, Redux, JavaScript, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, SQL, HTML5, CSS3, Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, Amazon S3, PostgreSQL
