# Tatiana Faramarzi > Software Engineer at Publica LLC Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/tatianafaramarzi I am a collaborative software engineer with experience building full-stack web applications using Javascript, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux, Node.js, Postgres, SQL, and MongoDB. I am led by curiosity and driven by the use of technology for social and environmental good. Previously, I was part of a small team at National Geographic that helped protect over 5 million square kilometers of ocean — more than half the size of Canada. I spend most of my spare time reading, climbing rocks, and going for long bike rides. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Publica LLC Jan 2020 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Software Engineering Student @ App Academy Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 App Academy is a rigorous, competitive software development program with a less than 3% acceptance rate.
