# Seth Choi > Senior Software Engineer at Squarespace Location: San Diego, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/sethchoi Hi! I'm Seth, and I like front end design, making graphic art, and making digital music. I like making things look cool, and intuitive to use. Outside of my core interests, I have a fascination with artificial intelligence, the environment, education, global systems (policy, markets, etc.), physics, biology, math, generally anything I can either use to understand things, or use to improve things. For myself, I'm into doing previously mentioned things like music and arts, but I'm also a fan of dance, writing, singing, playing video games and binge watching Netflix. But my biggest creative endeavors have always been graphic design and DJing, from time to time. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Squarespace Jan 2022 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ HubSpot Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 ### Front End Engineer II @ StepStone Group Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 Created an in-house component library to designer specs in order to promote a reusable, standardized set of components and branding throughout the various products Scaffolded and integrated front end mono-repo framework for the purposes of combining the front end into a single collaborative experience, using the aforementioned component library Performed technical project management duties for a new project, breaking down the project into technical requirements as well as diving into additional technical challenges and questions for follow up with stakeholders ### Software Engineer @ Classy.org Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | San Diego Performed tech lead duties and implemented an in-app next generation image manipulation tool in order to increase the product's NPS score.
