Profile: https://flows.cv/sonya

After graduating from Duke with a B.S. in Computer Science, I recently have worked for the past year and half as a web engineer. Currently, I am actively seeking new roles as a frontend engineer.

I have experience with graphic design, software engineering, web development, and digital illustration. I believe design should serve to amplify underrepresented voices and I strive to use my background in digital art, design and coding to make a difference.
