Have you ever been so excited about an idea for an app or website that could bring about dramatic changes in your life that you stayed up all night just replaying that idea in your head? I absolutely love my job as a software engineer because I get to turn your idea or my idea into a reality and see how it affects the people around me in real time. Even before I became professional software engineer, I have always come from an engineering background and had an analytical mindset which is why I majored in architectural engineering at UT and spent many years dissecting balance sheets and financial charts to predict the financial markets. I am very passionate in overcoming challenges with problem solving and seeing the solutions that I come up with played out in bringing about real value to companies and people.
