Profile: https://flows.cv/jasperyu

I am a software engineer passionate about problem solving and decision making. I enjoy seeing the big picture and being able to figure out the problem from start to finish. Being able get information and to quickly figure out why certain aspects of a code is inoperative has always been something I have been good at. I focus on speculating how my code can achieve current programming goals and make future goals easier to accomplish.  I've built multiple full stack Javascript application using tools such as  HTML/CSS, Sass, React, GraphQL Node, Express, MySQL, and MongoDB. I am looking to contribute to a team/position that works toward creating a tools to help replace inefficiency and to work for a company that allows me to grow through technical challenges.
