Profile: https://flows.cv/helenyu

Hello! I spent the first half of my life in three different countries (China, Canada and the U.S.) and currently reside in SF. Today, I love building things, problem solving and learning about new technologies. 

Recently, I built a clone of StackOverflow (InfiniteGo) using Ruby-on-Rails and PostgreSQL as my backend and React and Redux as my frontend. In this application, you can post questions and answers, upvote and bookmark posts, and add comments. 

On the side I enjoy learning new languages, playing board games (Terraforming Mars is a great one) and solving puzzles (as a few of my coworkers can attest).

Skills: C++, Javascript, Ruby, Ruby-on-Rails, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, CSS, HTML, SQL, MongoDB, Express, Node
