Hello, I'm Steven. I'm a full-stack developer with 4+ years of experience. Currently working in process optimisation, having delivered solutions to large clients such as Soho House, Deliveroo & Epic Games. I enjoy building apps & programs. My focus is React, Node.js & Java.
About Me
After graduating with a degree in Economics and working in tech investment for several years, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a Harvard's CS50 and a coding bootcamp to learned programming and full-stack web development.
My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out and evolving a solution to a problem. My core stack is React.js, Node.js, Java. I am also familiar and comfortable with TypeScript, SQL & NoSQL. I am always looking to learn new technologies.
I have great communication skills, and not only can I programme, I thrive at coordinating product delivery, mentoring juniors and communicating with clients and other teams.
Besides my full time engineering role, I also teach programming as an instructor specialist at a EdX: Harvard & MIT bootcamp. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading, exploring and playing with my cat. I greatly enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about philosophy and history. I'm also learning how to play the piano.
