Profile: https://flows.cv/ryansiazon

I love writing code. I’ve had a nearly lifelong interest in computers, and ever since I wrote my first program in middle school I have been passionately engaged in developing solutions to problems with software. I believe the power of software and its potential to reach an almost infinite number of people can transform and improve lives globally. 

This passion led me to study Computer Science at Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. During my studies I learned several core theories, compilers, algorithms, languages, development methodologies and design. I enjoyed learning these new concepts with the same level of fascination I had when I first started coding. I became a tutor to help teach the same coding concepts I was so passionate to learn about to people of many different backgrounds and levels. These experiences opened my eyes to how just much there was yet to learn and the world of possibilities out there.

Today, I work in the tech industry with the same passion. There’s always more to learn and solutions that can be built. 

Skills/Interests: Python, Java, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Computer Networking, Databases, Backend Development, Mobile Development.
