Hello, 안녕하세요! 👋

Coder by Day ☀️, Food Photographer by Night 🌃

I love to combine my knowledge and skills in design and development to create user experiences that enable people to get things done in an enjoyable way.

Apart from coding, you can find me learning Korean, participating in hackathons, taking food photos or volunteering in women in STEM initiatives.

Here's what I'm currently working on:

  • Managing a food Instagram @debeats_ with 600+ followers.
  • Becoming fluent in Korean
  • Becoming a better food photographer

  • Volunteer involvement
