👋 Hey, I'm Shane

🎓 A senior at University of Southern California majoring in Computer Science.

📚 It all started in high school when I began self-teaching basic coding and building small projects. This sparked further curiosity to learn more advanced concepts in computer science.

💼 Since then, I've worked as a software engineer at Shopify, LinkedIn, Paraform, Keepsake, EZread, DreamCoat, and Blue Panther Media - contributing growth engineering, full-stack development, optimizing performances, and implementing new features.

💻 As for future, I hope to work on cool software and build, tackle, and fix complex infrastructure.
