Profile: https://flows.cv/nicklee

Hello! I am proud to be an adventurous software engineer who loves tackling difficult puzzles and building practical and user-friendly applications. 

My love for building things and inventing creative & useful things drive me. So, I channel my builder energy into computers to make cool applications for people to use. I also enjoy the struggle of learning new things and strive to struggle every day. As a chronic coder, I am also passionate about learning new technologies and broadening my toolset to tackle new and exciting challenges. More importantly,  I am an advocate of visually (and logically) pretty code.
