Hi, I’m Jessica 🌻

> I'm a full-stack developer in San Diego, California.

I like exploring, learning, and creating.

In 2015, I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a B.S. in Computer Science. After graduating, I worked as a full-stack developer at Veeva Systems for four years, using Java and JavaScript to build features for a cloud-based web platform.

In 2021, I returned to California after traveling and living in Asia for almost two years. During that time, I saw many incredible sights and talked to people from all around the world, and even lived with just a backpack’s worth of things for over a year.

These days, I’ve been dabbling around with React and learning about other front-end technologies. Apart from programming, I enjoy reading, drawing, traveling, practicing Chinese, and jumping around from interest to interest. Feel free to take a peek at my photography here!

I hope to leave the world a little better than when I found it (or if I didn't exist)!
