Profile: https://flows.cv/jeffreyvan

I'm a software engineer that's passionate about books, video games, and cooking. I value being well-rounded, both in my career and as a person. As a result, I'm always looking for new challenges and new things to learn! 

My greatest strengths come from my readiness to take initiative and get my hands dirty. I'm also a huge fan of working collaboratively, and I routinely use pair/mob programming in my work. Let me know if you have any questions.
