Profile: https://flows.cv/lawrencechou

Hi! I am currently a full stack engineer with a passion in both the front-end with its reactive nature and the back-end with its algorithmic complexity. 

I'm a huge board game enthusiast and proud owner of my recently adopted kitten. 
When I'm not trying to teach my kitten new tricks, I'm working on my personal projects while getting lost in the world of music.

Feel free to contact me at lcchou2@gmail.com!
