Hey, I'm Canyon. I'm a software engineer in my last semester at USC. I'm always looking to connect and exchange ideas with others, so feel free to get in touch!
About me
My past experiences have taken me across multiple industries where I've driven impactful projects, ranging from developing applications that streamline data visualization to enhancing data quality in patient medication delivery. Whatever the task may be, I always strive to maintain a high level of quality and execution in my work, to provide something of value to others, and I'm passionate about continuing to grow my skills and knowledge as an engineer.
My core stack for developing web applications is React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB/Firebase. I also have experience with Python, C++, and Typescript as well as iOS and Android mobile development. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer.
Aside from coding, I enjoy playing basketball, lifting weights, and exploring nature with friends. I always love to experience and see new places, meet new people, and try new things (mostly food). Thanks for checking out my website and don't hesitate to reach out!
